In PET is the Intrinsic Viscosity or the Inherent Viscosity higher?

Intrinsic Viscosity of the PET in question cannot be said to be higher or lower. The intrinsic viscosity of the polymer depends on the degree of condensation achieved in the polycondensation phase of the PET manufacturing process. Since Intrinsic Viscosity(limiting to zeo concentration) is the relative measure of the molecular weight or chain-length of the polymer, one cannot say that molecular weight thus the intrinsic viscosity of PET is higher, this depends on the degree of condensation. Usually the degree of condensation of PET used in fibre manufacture is approx. [n]100. We can manufacture PET to different degrees of condensation for different purposes. Generally, PET has a higher molecular weight than other thermoplastic resins. Melting point of PET is also high approx. 250oC to 290oC


Si and cgs unit of intrinsic viscosity?

The SI unit of intrinsic viscosity is m^3/kg, while the CGS unit is cm^3/g. These units are used to quantify the molecular size and shape of a polymer solution, and are commonly employed in the field of polymer chemistry.


What is formula to calculate k value of PVC resin?

The K value of PVC resin is calculated using the Fikentscher K value equation, which is K = (135.5 - 0.31 * log(viscosity)) * (1 - 0.008 * (log(viscosity) - 1)), where viscosity is the intrinsic viscosity of the PVC resin solution. In practice, the viscosity is typically measured using an Ubbelohde viscometer or an Ostwald viscometer. The K value is an important parameter that indicates the average molecular weight of the PVC resin and is used to classify different grades of PVC based on their properties and applications.


Why the viscosity of DNA decreases during denaturation?

If native DNA is isolated carefully the sample will consist of long fragments of double stranded DNA. The hydrodynamic behaviour of this molecule resemble a long rod which because is highly asymetric it has a high intrinsic viscosity. As DNA denatures the two strands separate and each single strand is free to adopt different conformations in a form of a random coil. This form has a lower intrinsic viscosity than the double stranded DNA.


Is pressure a extrinsic or intrinsic?

Intrinsic


What is K value in PVC?

K Value is an indicator of molecular weight : K-57 is medium for injection molding,K-67 is medium-high for rigid extrusion, K-70 is higher for plasticized extrusion or calendering. K value relates to other ASTM indicators of molecular weight like Intrinsic Viscosity or Inherent Viscosity.
