Effect of Relative Molecular Mass

The relationship between the glass transition temperature and relative molecular mass of a

Using regression analysis on a data set of about 50 different molecules, it was found that a. = —4.4,8 = —0.5, Df = 12 cm2/s, and =2.5x 10 5 cm2/s [192], A graphic representation of the effect of relative molecular mass (Mr) and distribution coefficient on corneal permeability is shown in Fig. 13. One observes a rapid reduction in permeability coefficient with decreasing P and increasing Mr. The addition of pores to the model, a mathematical construct, is necessary to account for permeability of polar molecules, such as mannitol and cromolyn. These would also be required for correlating effects of compounds, such as benzalkonium chloride, which may compromise the...
