This report presents the results from IUPAC Working Party IV.2.2 of the global trial within the framework of IUPAC Commission IV.2, “Characterization of Commercial Polymers”. The results were compared on the basis of molecular weight obtained by size exclusion chromatography (SEC)using different techniques practiced in participating laboratories, the majority of which were materials suppliers. The practical methodologies used different solvents for the polymers, in particular, benzyl alcohol, 1,1,1,3,3,3 hexafluoropropan-2-ol and tetrahydrofuran; the latter solvent was used after chemical modification of the polyamides, in general with trifluoroacetic anhydride. Eight laboratories participated in the trial. The repeatability for molecular weight in each laboratory was good, whatever technique was used, the relative standard deviation averaged over all laboratories being around 3%. The deviations in distribution of molecular weights with different experimental methodologies were broader, but were reasonably good despite the diversity of methods. The differences in the distribution correspond to a confidence interval of about 30% in molecular weight.

Abstract Size exclusion chromatography (SEC) was used to characterize the molecular weight distribution (MWD) of 6 low density and 6 high density food grade polyethylene resins. The hexane and xylene extractable fractions of these 12 resins were also analyzed by SEC. An IBM 370/168 computer with an APL program was used to analyze the chromatograms and correct for chromatographic band spreading and skewing. Calculated weight average molecular weights (Mw) for the resins ranged from 40 000 to 200 000 and number average molecular weights (Mn) ranged from 6000 to 60 000. Median values of Mw and Mn were 1800 and 950, respectively, for hexane extractables from the low density resins, and were 310 and 290, respectively, for hexane extractables from the high density resins. Corresponding Mw and Mn values for xylene extractables were consistently larger than those for hexane extractables.
