Polymer molecular weight affects properties: higher MW = stronger, higher Tg, lower solubility; calculated from monomers and chain length.

공식

Calculate M_w = n × M_monomer - (n-1) × 18 (water loss)

단계별 가이드

  1. 1Input monomer molar mass and degree of polymerization (n)
  2. 2Calculate M_w = n × M_monomer - (n-1) × 18 (water loss)
  3. 3Show distribution effects

풀어진 예시

입력
Polyethylene: C₂H₄ unit, n=1000
결과
M_w ≈ 28,000 g/mol (number average MW)

피해야 할 일반적인 실수

  • Forgetting water loss in condensation polymerization
  • Confusing number-average vs. weight-average MW

자주 묻는 질문

Why is molecular weight distribution important?

Broad distribution: poor flow processing, brittle; narrow: processable, stronger.
