How to determine the molecular weight through viscosity measurement?



Answer:
Molecular weight can also be calculated from the viscosity of a polymer solution. The principle is a simple one: Bigger polymers molecules make a solution more viscous than small ones do. Of course, the molecular weight obtained by measuring the viscosity is a different from either the number average or the weight average molecular weight. But it's closer to the weight average than the number average...
the more viscous = more the weight
