The TOTAL correlations calculate aromatic carbon content, hydrogen content, molecular weight, and refractive index using routine laboratory tests. The TOTAL correlations are listed below and are also in Appendix 3. Example 2-2 illustrates the use of TOTAL correlations. 

Herein, we investigated the contents, molecular weight distribution and carbohydrate comptosition of polyuronides and hemicelluloses, and PG activity in the ripening strawberry.

Most potato starches are composed of a mixture of two polysaccharides, a linear fraction, amylose, and a highly branched fraction, amylopectin. The content of amylose is between 15 and 25% for most starches. The ratio of amylose to amylopectin varies from one starch to another. The two polysaccharides are homoglucans with only two types of chain linkage, a-(l 4) in the main chain and a-(l 6)-linked branch chains. Physicochemical properties of potato and its starch are believed to be influenced by amylose and amylopectin content, molecular weight, and molecular weight distribution, chain length and its distribution, and phosphorus content (Jane and Chen, 1992). 

Systems containing monomer and DMF but no other diluent were discussed in the previous section, and it was noted that a maximum rate is associated with intermediate monomer-DMF compositions. Imoto (79) observed a similar effect with monomer-benzene-DMF mixtures. A shallow minimum in polymerization rate was found at a low benzene level and then a very pronounced maximum at a higher benzene content. Molecular weight increased monotonically, however, with the benzene/ DMF ratio. In these ternary systems the amount of DMF was not enough to keep the polymer in solution but considerable swelling must have occurred. Thomas, Thomas and Deichert (130) show electron photomicrographs of polymer made under these conditions.

These definitions have survived the test of time because of their practical utility. Water solubility is an effective criterion because of its dependence on important chemical characteristics, such as acidic functional group content, molecular weight, aromaticity, and so on. Other terms that may not be familiar to scientists outside a particular discipline are defined in Glossary of Terms (Appendix A). 

To conclude, the common physico-chemical characteristics of oligo-polyols for polyurethanes determined by standard analytical methods are hydroxyl number, hydroxyl percentage, primary hydroxyl content, molecular weight, equivalent weight, molecular weight distribution, viscosity, specific gravity, acidity and colour (See Chapters 3.1-3.11). 

The relationship between the impact properties and morphology in ICP has been studied extensively. For example. Tan et al. (4) and Cai et al. (5) examined the effect of morphology on the impact strength using ICP samples with similar ethylene content, molecular weight, and molecular weight distribution. A typical SEM micrograph of fractured surface ICP specimens after the impact test at — 20°C is shown in Fig. 8.3.

The rate of the sodium-alcohol reaction is a function of water content, molecular weight, and number of hydroxy radicals of the alcohol. The lowest alcohol, methanol, reacts steadily when at room temperature but without undue vigor. Alcohols above butanol react so slowly as to be ineffective. Practical aspects...
