Molecular weight changes and

Using the molecular weight change and the number of photons required for the change, the absolute quantum yield at 2537 A of PMMA was obtained where the value of 0.9 was used as the density of PMMA film. Once the absolute quantum yield at 2537 A was obtained, the absolute quantum yields over all the spectral range can be calculated from the relative data of the spectral sensiti-... 

Firstly, there are indirect techniques in which the conseqwnces of mol xilar fracture are assessed. They include a wide range of methods including the measurement of molecular weight changes and of solubility (gel formation). The have been extensively reviewed by Casale, Porter and Johnson Anotl r sudi technique was employed by Becht and Fischer who observed the polymerisation of a monomer induced by molecular fracture in polymer chains ... 

Recently we have been studying both the molecular weight changes and the physical property changes in HDPE as a function of oxidation. Unstabilized and stabilized HDPE were evaluated by oxygen uptake at...

The extent of reaction, which usually appears as a molecular weight change and depends on the application time of shear. 

In solution-based polymerisation, use of the initiating anionic species allows control over the trans /cis microstmcture of the diene portion of the copolymer. In solution SBR, the alkyUithium catalyst allows the 1,2 content to be changed with certain modifying agents such as ethers or amines. The use of anionic initiators to control the molecular weight, molecular weight distribution, and the microstmcture of the copolymer has been reviewed (15). 

Polymer-Fluid Equilibria and the Glass Transition Most polymer systems fall in the Class HI or Class V phase diagrams, and the same system can often change from one class into the other as the polymer s molecular weight changes. Most polymers are insoluble in CO9 below 100°C, yet CO9 can be quite sohible in the polymer. For example, the sorption of CO9 into silicone rubber is highly dependent upon temperature and pressure, since these properties have a large influence on the density and activity of CO9.
