Abstract

The scattering function P 0 for classical elastic light scattering is specified for several molecular weight distribution functions (Schulz-, Square root-, Maxwell-, Normal-, Poisson-, Logarithmic-normal-distribution function). Precision measurements on anionic polymerized polystyrene from Pressure Chemical Co. ( M w = 2 · 10 6 and M w = 6,7 · 10 6) and radical initiated polystyrene were performed in transdecalin with the light scattering photometer Fica 50. Comparison of experimental results with theoretical curves indicate that the anionic polystyrenes exhibit a broader distribution than given by Pressure Chemical Co. The distribution of the radical polystyrene conforms with distributions found by other methods.
