Abstract:Here, the suffix L denotes the linear chain. For the purpose of estimating branching, considerable effort has been made toward estimating the overall dimensions of isolated chain molecules by measuring the intrinsic viscosity [η] and light scattering (LS) of their dilute solutions. However, these methods are only suitable for monodispersed or fractionated polymers in the Θ state, where the effects of the excluded volume of a structural unit vanish. Furthermore, these methods are appropriate for precisely eval… Show more
