What is the Flory-Schulz distribution used for?

  • Polymer molecular weights

  • Atomic masses

  • Electron densities

  • Energy levels

Answer

The Flory-Schulz distribution is a statistical model used to describe the molecular weight distribution of polymers. It is based on the assumption that the polymer chains are randomly branched and that the number of branches per chain follows a Poisson distribution. The Flory-Schulz distribution is widely used in polymer science to characterize the molecular weight distribution of polymers and to predict their physical properties.
