Hyperbranched Polyols [poster]

Polymerization of fatty acids with multiple hydroxyl groups inadvertently leads to hyperbranched polymers with molecular weights, degree of branching and macromolecular shape dependent on the degree of polymerization. Characterization of hyperbranched polymers as a function of the extent of reaction is of practical and theoretical interest. In this poster, we studied the power relationship of radius of gyration and molecular weight, and viscometric radius and molecular weight. Learn more by viewing our scientific poster.
