Polymer Viscosity and Molecular Weight

Polymers are long molecules made of repeating monomer units that are chemically bonded together. Their properties depend on chemical structure, molecular weight, and degree of polymerization. The polymer industry makes many raw materials that are used in commercial products.

Polymers are a ubiquitous class of compounds found in all facets of industry and manufacturing. Two of their most important characteristics, molecular weight and degree of polymerization, must be derived from other bulk properties. Unlike other substances, whose physical characteristics are defined solely by their chemical structures, polymers a...
