UNIT IV

POLYMER MOLECULARWEIGHT

9
Molecular weight- Molecular weight averages - Molecular weight distribution - Unidispersity, polydispersity, Degree of polymerization. Molecular weight determination - Basic concepts of end group analysis, colligative properties, osmametry, light scattering, and gel permeation chromatography - Viscosity of polymers solutions.

UNIT V

REACTIONS OF POLYMERS

9
