Popis: Three different Fortran computer programs based upon different regression models have been applied to the computer analysis of light scattering data by variously weighted linear and nonlinear least-squares methods to calculate the molecular parameters, viz., (MW)w, z. etc. for standard polystyrene samples in good solvents (benzene and toluene). Comparison of the results from the computer programs provides greater insight into the theoretical validity of these parameters, and leads to the conclusion that standardization of the data processing is an essential part of any “Round Robin” experiment to evaluate the molecular weight of standard polymer samples in different laboratories.
