An unknown polymer material is tested for molecular weight. The following molecular weight data is tabulated. Complete the columns of the table, including the "Total:" row and calculate and label the numberfraction molecular weight (Mn) and the weight-fraction molecular weight (Mw). The degree of polymerization (DP) for this polymer is 736. Calculate the repeat unit molecular weight and identify the unknown polymer (Table 14.3). What is the polydispersity (PD) of the polymer?
This polymer material has a density of 0.95gml and a crystallinity of 37.5%. It is known that the material formed in its minimum crystalline state has a density of 0.89gml. What is the maximum density that this polymer material can be formed?
