These chains are compounded from numerous small molecules that can change the mechanical behavior of the polymer and skew its molecular weight. This makes establishing a consistent molecular weight ...

These chains are compounded from a variety of small molecules which can modify the mechanical behavior of the polymer and skew its molecular weight. This makes it almost impossible to establish a ...

Static light scattering (SLS) is a non-invasive technique used for characterizing macromolecules in solution. A beam of monochromatic light is directed through a sample and the intensity of the light ...

The bulk properties of polymer solutions are sensitive to polymer concentration. Polymer solutions are typically described as being either dilute, semi-dilute, or concentrated. The concentration ...

In materials science, the molecular weight of polymers is a key property that influences various physical characteristics. Previous studies have demonstrated that benchtop NMR can be used to determine ...

Proceedings of the Royal Society of London. Series A, Mathematical and Physical Sciences, Vol. 192, No. 1030 (Feb. 18, 1948), pp. 329-339 (11 pages) A simple method for investigating the relation ...

A research team has developed a method for easily synthesizing a self-healing polymer gel made of ultrahigh molecular weight polymers (polymers with a molecular weight greater than 106 g/mol) and ...

In this review, the development of low-molecular-weight gelators and polymer-based gelators is described. The driving forces for physical gelation are non-covalent bonds, such as hydrogen bonds, ...

Effect of molecular weight toward tensile properties in the present biobased polyesters, HP1. The plots of PE-18,18 (polyester-18,18, reported biobased), and ...

1. A research team consisting of NIMS, Hokkaido University and Yamaguchi University has developed a method for easily synthesizing a self-healing polymer gel made of ultrahigh molecular weight (UHMW) ...
