The number average molecular weight of a polymer can be determined by Gel Permeation Chromatography , Viscometry , Light Scattering , Analytical Ultracentrifugation , Vapor Pressure Osmometry , End-group titration, and colligative properties. An alternative measure of the molecular weight of a polymer is the Weight Average Molecular Weight . The ratio of the ''weight average'' to the ''number average'' is called the Polydispersity Index . ''High Number-Average Molecular Weight Polymers'' may be obtained only with a high ''fractional monomer conversion'' in the case of Step-growth Polymerization , as per the Carothers' Equation . |
