Intrinsic Viscosity and Mark Houwink Equation

Intrinsic viscosity and the Mark Houwink equation can be used together to easily find the molecular weight of a given polymer sample. However, the molecular weight of the polymer sample can only be found if two specific constants are already known. The Mark Houwink equation allows us to convert the intrinsic viscosity of a polymer to its molecular weight.

This video is part of our polymer engineering course. Polymer engineering is the study of polymers. In particular the study of polymers different properties and characteristics. In this playlist we will learn everything from the fundamentals of polymers to a more complex understanding of how polymers are derived and characterized.
