Monomolecular property ( p ) versus molar mass ( M ) relationships" of the type p = K p . Map as would result from an experimental determination of p and M of a polymer-homologous series of strictly monomolecular polymers can also be obtained from a polymer-homologous series of polymolecular polymer samples or fractions, provided their correct corresponding averages 3 and Mare determined (Principle of Corresponding Averages). In order to obtain the monomolecular intrinsic viscosity [a] vs. M relationship (Mark-Houwink relationship), the corresponding averages weight-average intrinsic viscosity ( [ q ] , = [ q ] ) and viscosity-average molar mass (Mr,) of a series of polymer-homologous, polymolecular polymer samples or fractions have to be determined experimentally. Accordingly, the corresponding monomolecular relationships sedimentation coefficient s vs. M , diffusion coefficient D vs. M , and mean-square radius of gyration ( r 2 > vs. M a y obtained by the determination of a series of couples of the corresponding averages Svs. M, D vs. M, and (?) vs. M , respectively. The experimental determination of the corresponding averages presented is possible by different methods, including the determination of the molar mass distribution.
