Molecular weight distribution, in polymers

The use of a continuous GPC viscosity detector in conjunction with a DRI detector permits the quantitative determination of absolute molecular weight distribution in polymers. Furthermore, from this combination one can obtain Mark-Houwink parameters and the bulk intrinsic viscosity of a given polymer with a GPC calibration curve based only on polystyrene standards. Coupling these two detectors with ultraviolet and infrared detectors then will permit the concurrent determination of polymer composition as a function of molecular weight and...

Many experimental data [5] show that the empirically found correlation between a) the molecular structure inclusive average molecular weight and molecular weight distribution in polymer melts, and b) the flow behavior is qualitatively similar for different monomers [6]. As silicone oils are of high relevance in technical applications and, furthermore, available within a...
