The characterization of linear polyethylene SRM 1475. VIII. Light-scattering studies on polyethylenes in 1-chloronaphthalene

Abstract

Light-scattering measurements have been made on a series of linear polyethylene fractions and a linear polyethylene standard reference material (SRM 1475). All measurements were made in 1-chloronaphthalene at 135 °C. and over an angular range from 45° to 135°. The data were analyzed to obtain the weight average molecular weights, second virial coefficients and root-mean square end-to-end distances.
