Viscometry Intrinsic viscosity [/]] conformation and flexibility. [r]], like Rg, much more sensitive than s. Accurate concentration estimates required. [6]... 

Viscometry. Intrinsic viscosity. Kinematic viscosities (v=rj/p, where tj is the viscosity) were measured in a Cannon-Ubbelohde capillary viscometer. At least four concentrations, covering the relative viscosity range where the subscript s denotes the solvent) from about 1.8 to 1.2 were used to construct Schul -Blaschke plots. These plots of versus where... 

Synthetic, nonionic polymers generally elute with little or no adsorption on TSK-PW columns. Characterization of these polymers has been demonstrated successfully using four types of on-line detectors. These include differential refractive index (DRI), differential viscometry (DV), FALLS, and MALLS detection (4-8). Absolute molecular weight, root mean square (RMS) radius of gyration, conformational coefficients, and intrinsic viscosity distributions have... 

Dilute Solution Viscometry - The hydrogenated and hydroformyl ated (10%) PBD were completely soluble in toluene. Intrinsic viscosity measurements were carried out in toluene at 30°C using a Cannon-Ubbelohde viscometer. 

In addition, data on the size, shape and solvation of the polymer particles in aqueous solutions at temperatures below and above the transition phenomena registered by HS-DSC have been obtained [42]. Table 2 shows the results of capillary viscometry and light scattering experiments for the fractions p and s of poly(NVCl-co-NVIAz) synthesized at 65 °C from the feed with the initial molar comonomer ratio equal to 85 15. Since fraction p precipitates from the aqueous solution at temperatures > 34 °C, its intrinsic viscosity can be determined only at 20 °C, whereas for the fraction s such measurements were possible above and below the temperatures of the HS-DSC-registered conformational transition. 

Viscometry is used to measure average molar masses too [1-3]. It is an indirect method, since the measured quantity is the intrinsic viscosity (TV), which is related to the average molar masses calibration by a peculiar formula, called the Mark-Huwink-Sakurada equation [1-3]. 

Viscometry has been used extensively to provide information on the hydrodynamic properties of solutions of block copolymer micelles. The specific viscosity, J7sP, divided by the concentration, can be used to determine the intrinsic viscosity, [r/], by extrapolation via...

Physical Measurements. Molecular Weight. Intrinsic viscosities were determined using dilute solution viscometry (Cannon-Ubbelohde viscometers). For the poly (methyl methacrylate) polymer the following empirical expressions were used to obtain molecular weights (4) ... 

Viscometry The specific viscosity of each polymer from the bulk polymerization was measured in acetone at 30°C using an Ubbelohde dilution viscometer. Five concentrations in the range of 1.120 to 0.242 g/d poly(vinyl acetate) and polyvinyl trideuteroacetate) and 0.385 to 0.084 g/dl (poly(trideu-terovinyl acetate)) were run. Intrinsic viscosity was calculated by extrapolation of the Tlsp/c versus c plot to zero concentration. Number average molecular weights were calculated using the equation(20) [q] =1,0 x 10 1 [Mn] 0 72 which is in the mid range of the equations listed. 

Measurements of hydrodynamic radius (Rh) and intrinsic viscosity [in] of PVP in Na2SC>4 (0.55 M) have been performed by using Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS) and viscometry. From these results, a coil - to - globule phase transition was detected. 

The application of refractive index and differential viscometer detection in SEC has been discussed by a number of authors [66-68]. Lew et al. presented the quantitative analysis of polyolefins by high-temperature SEC and dual refractive index-viscosity detection [69]. They applied a systematic approach for multidetector operation, assessed the effect of branching on the SEC calibration curve, and used a signal averaging procedure to better define intrinsic viscosity as a function of retention volume. The combination of SEC with refractive index, UV, and viscosity detectors was used to determine molar mass and functionality of polytetrahydrofuran simultaneously [70]. Long chain branching in EPDM copolymers by SEC-viscometry was analyzed by Chiantore et al. [71]. 

One of the most difficult problems when characterizing copolymers and polymer blends by SEC-viscometry is the accurate determination of the polymer concentration across the SEC elution curve. The concentration detector signal is a function of the chemical drift of the sample under investigation. To overcome this problem, Goldwasser proposed a method where no concentration detector is required for obtaining Mn data [72]. In the usual SEC-viscometry experiment, the determination of the intrinsic viscosity at each slice of the elution curve requires a viscosity and a concentration signal ... 

Intrinsic Viscosity. Dilute-solution viscometry of samples in toluene was carried out in a Cannon-Ubbelohde semimicrodilution viscometer (size 25) in a temperature-controlled bath (25.0 0.2 °C). At least three concentrations were measured, and the results were extrapolated to infinite dilution by using the Huggins and Kramers relations...
