Question

You are working at a plastics company, and your boss wants you to modify an
existing polymer so it will be stronger and flow more easily for processing.
How would you change the molecular weight distribution to meet both
requirements?

Definition Definition Large and very high-molecular-weight substances that consist of hundreds to thousands of repeating units. Polymers are also known as macromolecules. Number-average-molecular weight is the measuring system for the polymers.
