Notes:
The relationship of intrinsic viscosity [η] to the weight-average molecular weight M̄w of polydimethylsiloxane in toluene at 25°C. has been determined. The modified Staudinger equation, [η] = KM̄wa, with K = 2.43 × 10-5 and a = 0.84, describes the relationship for the above polymers in the range of weight-average molecular weight from 18,900 to 124,500 (as determined by light-scattering measurements). These constants differ from the values reported by Barry, where K = 2 × 10-4 and a = 0.66 were obtained. The difference is attributed to the fact that Barry dealt with number-average rather than weight-average molecular weight.
