Branching in bisphenol A polycarbonate has been investigated by fractionation, gel permeation chromatography, viscometry and light scattering. The samples studied (Makrolon 3000 and 3000L) are branched, Makrolon 3000 more so than Makrolon 3000L. The variation of the branching parameters with molecul

✦ Synopsis
Gel permeation chromatography (GPC) and viscometry (V) methods have been combined for determination of long-chainbranching in bisphenol-A polycarbonate (PC) by means of a branching factor gv = M*~/M*, where M*g and M* are the apparent viscosity-average molecular weights calculated from GPC data and from intrinsic viscosities [r/] of the samples respectively. A linear dependence of g~ on molar ~o of branching agent has been obtained. The GPC data on PC samples have also been applied for verification of an earlier [r/] M relationship for branched polydisperse polymers.
