Document Summary

Weight-averaged molecular weight (cid:1839)(cid:3365)(cid:3050)= (cid:1875)(cid:3036)(cid:1839)(cid:3036)= (cid:3015)(cid:3284)(cid:3014)(cid:3284) (cid:1755)(cid:1755)(cid:1755)(cid:1755)(cid:1755)(cid:1839)(cid:3036)= (cid:3015)(cid:3284)(cid:3014)(cid:3284)(cid:3118) (cid:1755)(cid:1755)(cid:1755)(cid:1755)(cid:1755) Just knowing the averages is not enough, the distribution of the molecular weights also has a large effect on how the material will process and its properties. Polydispersity index a measurement of the broadness of a molecular weight distribution of a polymer (cid:1842)(cid:1830)(cid:1835)=(cid:1839)(cid:3365)(cid:3050)(cid:1839)(cid:3365)(cid:3041)(cid:1755)(cid:1755)(cid:1755) A mono-disperse polymer (such as protein) has a pdi = 1. The average number of mer units in a chain (cid:2160)(cid:2172)(cid:3364)(cid:3364)(cid:3364)(cid:3364)(cid:3364): the average number of repeating units. (cid:2180)(cid:3365)(cid:2196): the average number of structure units (cid:1839)(cid:3041)=(cid:1830)(cid:1842) (cid:1839)(cid:3042) (cid:1839)(cid:3042)=(cid:1839)(cid:1867)(cid:1864)(cid:1857)(cid:1855)(cid:1873)(cid:1864)(cid:1853)(cid:1870) (cid:1849)(cid:1857)(cid:1861)(cid:1859)(cid:1860)(cid:1872) (cid:1867)(cid:1858) (cid:1870)(cid:1857)(cid:1868)(cid:1857)(cid:1853)(cid:1872)(cid:1861)(cid:1866)(cid:1859) (cid:1873)(cid:1866)(cid:1861)(cid:1872) Materials page 2 (cid:1839)(cid:3365)(cid:3041)=(cid:1830)(cid:1842)(cid:3364)(cid:3364)(cid:3364)(cid:3364) (cid:1839)(cid:3042) (cid:1839)(cid:3042)=(cid:1839)(cid:1867)(cid:1864)(cid:1857)(cid:1855)(cid:1873)(cid:1864)(cid:1853)(cid:1870) (cid:1849)(cid:1857)(cid:1861)(cid:1859)(cid:1860)(cid:1872) (cid:1867)(cid:1858) (cid:1870)(cid:1857)(cid:1868)(cid:1857)(cid:1853)(cid:1872)(cid:1861)(cid:1866)(cid:1859) (cid:1873)(cid:1866)(cid:1861)(cid:1872) The longer the molecules (or the higher the molecular weight) the higher the entanglement forces. Tl;dr: as chains get longer, the material gets stronger, but harder to process. Effects of molecular weights on physical properties of polymers. The polymer parameters: monomer composition (chemistry, molecular weight (size, stereochemistry / chain isomerism (shape, morphology / topology, rheology.
