Effect of molecular weight distribution on viscosity of polymeric fluids

摘要

AbstractBueche's theory is modified to account for the effect of polydispersity on viscosity of polymeric fluids. Results indicate that the ratio of weight‐average to number‐average molecular weight, 〈Mw/Mn〉, though a common measure of polydispersity, is insufficient to account completely for the effect of polydispersity on vi
