In order to create a streamlined way to quantify the composition of PVP-PVAc copolymers and blends, the qNMR methodology alongside FTIR and elemental analysis were used to develop calibration curves for industrial use. We report on the methodologies used to determine % PVP content in the copolymers and blends in question as well as the results obtained via NMR, FTIR, and elemental analysis. Results from the NMR analysis were corroborated with calibration curves used to determine % PVP composition using FTIR and were further corroborated with elemental analysis results. The PVP-PVAc copolymers used ranged from 30 to 70 mol% PVP and the blends ranged from 20 to 80 weight% PVP.","PeriodicalId":386309,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Polymer and Biopolymer Physics Chemistry","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123263942","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Radii were calculated from the measured diffusion coefficients using the Stokes-Einstein relationship. The linear polystyrenes displayed a relationship between radius and molecular weight that followed the expected power law. From simple theoretical considerations, the dendritic polymers were expected to follow a logarithmic relationship between radius and molecular weight. The PAMAM dendrimers gave reasonable fits to both a power law and a logarithmic relationship from generation 0 to generation 3 (the power law gave a slightly better fit), but displayed a turnover with generation 4, which gave a smaller Stokes radius than generation 3. These results were compared with earlier results from poly (aryl ether) monodendrons, where the relationship was ambiguous between a power law and a logarithmic relationship.","PeriodicalId":386309,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Polymer and Biopolymer Physics Chemistry","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-10-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116073846","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
