Although the mixing of miscible liquids is generally thought to be relatively well-described by classical Fickian diffusion models, it is well-known that the physics of glass-formation can greatly alter the dissolution dynamics of polymer materials brought
Accurate values of the specific refractive index increment (∂n/∂c) are essential to the accurate determination of molar mass averages, distributions, and related macromolecular parameters by, among others, size-based separations with online static light
Many techniques, including surface and bulk measurements, have been used to study the changes in mechanical properties of polymers induced by photodegradation. This study employed dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) as a less-destructive method to examine
