What is the Flory-Schulz distribution?
Molecular weight distribution
Electron distribution
Energy levels
Atomic radii
Answer
The Flory-Schulz distribution describes the molecular weight distribution of polymers, specifically linear polymers. It is a statistical distribution that predicts the probability of finding a polymer chain with a given molecular weight. The distribution is characterized by a single parameter, the polydispersity index (PDI), which measures the broadness of the distribution. A lower PDI indicates a narrower distribution, meaning that the polymers are more uniform in size.
