For unfractionated anionic polymers, the following relationship between the osmometric molecular weight and intrinsic viscosity is valid: M̄n = 13200[η]1.115 (cresol), or M̄n = 13000[η]1.021 (93.8% H2SO4). A comparison of the osmometric and viscometric data with the number of endgroups of a polymer confirmed the finding that under certain conditions, moderately branched molecules can be formed; the above parameters depend on the type of the activator used.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
