Inherent Viscosity AO31

Some PolySciTech (www.polyscitech.com) products which are not DCM soluble can not be currently assayed in-house for molecular weight by GPC due to the solvent limitations of our GPC setup. For these products we often provide on demand the inherent viscosity of the polymer which can be utilized to achieve the molecular weight by the Mark-Houwink equation. For example the inherent viscosity of Poly(n-vinyl caprolactam) (PolyVivo AO31) lot# 30315JSG is 0.327 with a standard deviation of 0.002 (N=3, 30C, THF). If you are curious about the IV of any material which is not already shown on our catalog just contact us and we can obtain it for you on demand.
