Project I.4: (1 Quiz due 1 Week from Tuesday)

Report on Different Techniques for Determination of Molecular Weight

 

Write a 6 page report describing methods for determining molecular weight and appropriate equations defining:
a) all of the terms that are measured,
b) how they are measured,
c) how these terms are converted to molecular weight,
d) what moment of the molecular weight is obtained and
e) why this moment is obtained.

 

Include in your report sections on:
1) GPC,
2) osmotic pressure,
3) light scattering,
4) chemical end-group analysis and
5) intrinsic viscosity (dilute solution viscosity). 

You can include other methods if you find these.  Include the sources for your information as numbered citations indexed in the text of your report.
