monodisperse polymer

However, most theories treating polymers deal only with monodisperse polymers.

Other than monodisperse polymers, there is normally a molar mass distribution caused by chains of different length.

Dispersion polymerization can produce nearly monodisperse polymer particles of 0.1-15 micrometers (um).

In batch reactors or PFRs, well-controlled anionic polymerization can result in almost monodisperse polymer.

Synthetic monodisperse polymer chains can be made by processes such as anionic polymerization, a method using an anionic catalyst to produce chains that are similar in length.

Ideally, one should compare the flocculation performance of a polydisperse polymer to that of a monodisperse polymer, with the latter possessing a molecular weight equal to the mean value of the former.

By determining the retention volumes (or times) of monodisperse polymer standards (e.g. solutions of monodispersed polystyrene in THF), a calibration curve can be obtained by plotting the logarithm of the molecular weight versus the retention time or volume.
