INVESTIGATING THE COMPATIBILITY OF POLYMERS IN COMMON SOLVENT

Polymers are considered as versatile material having number of applications. However, their properties depend upon the structure, molecular mass and its distribution and the interactions among polymer-polymer and polymer-solvent molecules. Henee it is necessary to synthesize a polymer with required...
