The present application note explains how to calculate the molar mass Mw based on the Zero-Shear Viscosity value measured by a Frequency Sweep. The Zero-Shear Viscosity can be evaluated by applying ...

Molecular weight is a main feature employed when characterizing polymer-based products. The term describes the molar mass distribution of polymer chains which can significantly vary within ...

There is a strong link between what is called the weight-average molecular weight of a polymer and a parameter called the zero-shear viscosity. Although the correct link rather depends on the polymer, ...

This article assesses the fractional error in Mw that results when θ=90 o detection is used instead of a full angular extrapolation via MALS. Is it possible to ...

Xanthan is a polysaccharide produced by Xanthomonas campestris and is widely used as a viscosity enhancer in foods, detergents, cosmetics and other products. It is widely accepted that native ...
