Abstract

AbstractAssuming the signal response in a pulsed gradient stimulated echo (PGSTE) experiment (on a polymer) to be described by a simple stretched‐exponential function (SEF) and knowing the scaling law between diffusivity and molecular weight, the molecular weight distribution (MWD) characteristics (kurtosis, skewness, moment, and width) are derived and compared to the corresponding distribution characteristics obtained by a log‐normal function fit (to the same MWD). Also, the challenge involved in obtaining a reliable weight average molecular weight from an SEF response function is discussed.
