Accurate description of intrinsic viscosity changes under polymer degradation: The Schulz broad distributions

For the Schulz broad distributions with initial weight-polydispersity from 2 to 10, the correlation between the intrinsic viscosity and the degradation degree, DD = In(Mno/Mn), has been found as the following equation system: . Here P0,P, and PF are viscosit-olydispersities: initial, current, and that of the Flory distribution, respectively. This correlation inaccuracy has been assessed to be about 2%.
