Abstract

AbstractA log/normal MWD is characterized by two parameters, its mean molecular weight M0 and width σ. It is demonstrated how these parameters can be obtained by model fitting a stretched exponential function (SEF), as characterized by two parameters β and DS, to the PGSTE response curve. Based on simulations, two general empirical equations relating β and DS to M0 and σ are found. The model enables the MWD characteristics to be determined if the scaling law between diffusivity and molecular weight is known. The sensitivity and relative error of σ and M0 are discussed and the applicability of the model is illustrated by analyzing experimental NMR response curve of some PEO samples. The key advantages of this technique are its simplicity, numerical robustness, and reliability. magnified image
