synopsisThe kinetics of the depolymerization of native dextran in dilute hydrochloric acid a t different temperatures has been followed by measurements of M,, a,,, [ q ] , (Pp)''', and S. The data allow the correlation of the various parameters of the total hydrolyzate a t various degrees of depolymerization. At a first approximation the results conform to a random splitting of a statistical, branched polymer.
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.
