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

โฆ Synopsis
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 molecular weight is suggestive of random branching. Comparison of the molecular weight distribution with that expected for random trifunctional branching suggests an average of about half a branch point per weight-average molecule in Makrolon 3000.

By combining the offline static and dynamic laser light scattering (LLS) and gel permeation chromatography (GPC) results of a broadly distributed polymer sample, we were able to characterize a series of chiral binaphthyl-based polyarylenes and poly(aryleneethnylene)s in THF at 25ยฐC. For each of the
