| Popis: | A method for determining molecular weight distributions is presented, based upon the partition of polymer molecules between gel and sol in a partly crosslinked system. It is assumed that the polymer sample consists of a series of molecular weight species, and analysis of previously developed theories covering this situation yields an expression which equates the weight fraction of gel to a summation involving the weight fraction of the material in each species and the number of crosslinked units in the sample. The data are presented in the form of a graph showing how the weight fraction of gel varies as a function of the number of crosslinked units in the sample. Data for the graph are obtained from swelling measurements made in the usual manner. The procedure is outlined for using the information from the graph to make a step-by-step evaluation of the fractional weight of each molecular weight species in the sample for as many fractions as may be arbitrarily chosen. Both a first approximation method and a more refined second approximation method are outlined. The procedure has been applied to samples of natural rubber, synthetic rubbers, and to two known molecular weight distributions. |
