Question

Transcribed Image Text:5.7 Many commercially-used polymers are actually blends of two or more different molecular weights,
which gives a net composition with a bimodal molecular weight distribution.
A. If an equal weight of polymers A, B and C (below) are blended, what are the new average Mn,
average Mw, and polydispersity of the blend?
Polymer A:
Polymer B:
Polymer C:
M₂
200,000
350,000
150,000
Mw
600,000
400,000
150,000
PI
3.00
1.14
1.00
B. Draw (or sketch by hand) a qualitative graph to represent the results of running this blend
through a gel permeation chromatograph. The y-axis is an indicator of intensity (refractive
index or absorbance) and is proportional to the mass of polymers that are leaving the GPC
column. Label the x- and y- axes and label the parts of the chromatograph to show the
different polymers in the blend (A, B& C). Consider that the A, B & C peaks may overlap. A
qualitative sketch is fine, but be sure to show the relative peak heights and widths that will
result from the GPC. You may assume that the GPC packing material is capable of separating
molecular weights (Mw) from 50,000 to 5,000,000.
C. Draw a second qualitative graph by hand below the first one that shows what the output from
the GPC would show if:
i. the GPC column was rated for separations between Mw = 50,000 and 300,000
ii. using the original column the blend of polymers were not dilute.
