What is the polydispersity index of polymer if the mass average molecular mass & number average molecular mass of a polymer are respectively 40,000 and 30,000?
Options
- A< 1
- B> 1
- C1
- D0
Correct answer
B. > 1
Step-by-step solution
Average number molecular weight M n ¯ = 30,000 Average mass molecular weight M w ¯ = 40,000 Polydispersity index (PDI) = M w ¯ M n ¯ = 40,000 30,000 = 1.33
