Abstract
A method is proposed for use of the universal calibration curve, i.e., the product of molecular weight and intrinsic viscosity versus retention volume, in calculating the molecular weight distribution of a polymer from gelβpermeation chromatography (GPC) when the MarkβHouwink relation of the polymer in the solvent used for the GPC is unknown. This is achieved by measuring the viscosity of each fraction with an automatic capillary tube viscometer. Application of this technique to poly(vinyl chloride) and poly(vinyl acetate) proved to be successful.

An automatic viscometer coupled with a GPC instrument is reported. The calculations which are briefly described give the molecular weight distribution corrected for long-chain branching effect, the variations of the structure parameter 9' and of the long-chain branching frequency 2 with molecular we
