Measurement of the polydispersity index in the laboratory
You need to measure the polydispersity index of your polymers
Firstly, the polydispersity index is a measure of the heterogeneity of a sample as a function of its size. Polydispersity can be due to the size distribution in a sample or to agglomeration or aggregation of the sample during isolation or analysis.
Thus, in the case of a peak, the polydispersity index is 1, in the case of a Gaussian, the index may be greater than 3. The polydispersity index corresponds to the ratio of the molar mass by weight to the molar mass by number.
The polydispersity index can be measured with instruments using dynamic light scattering (DLS).
Therefore, the support of a laboratory with state-of-the-art analytical equipment including DLS instruments is necessary to measure the polydispersity index of your polymers.
