Abstract 1. The cryoscopic method is not satisfactory for polyprenes with chain lengths much greater than about 20 isoprene units on account of the failure of their solutions to obey Raoult's law. 2. Since Staudinger's viscosity-molecular weight constants were in many cases determined on nonideal solutions, this subject will be further investigated. 3. The present work has led to the selection of a Kcm value of 0.75 × 104, which is 25 per cent lower that the value chosen by Staudinger, who used higher polymers which do not behave ideally in solution. 4. The use of Staudinger's equation, M=ηsp/CKm, leads to large deviations with the variations in viscosity usually employed, and this deviation is largely avoided by employing the equation M=(log ηr/C)Kcm.

Abstract 1. The cryoscopic method is not satisfactory for polyisobutylenes having chain lengths much over 40 isobutylene units, on account of the failure of their solutions to obey Raoult's law. 2. The present work has led to the selection of a Kcm value of 0.75×104 for n-hexane solutions of polyisobutylene for use in the equation M=(log ηr×Kcm)/C. 3. Extrapolation of cryoscopic data obtained on nonideal solutions to infinite dilution gives inordinately high molecular weight values compared with those based on freezing point measurements of ideal solutions. 4. Of several solvents studied, n-hexane was found to be the best for viscosity—molecular weight measurements of polyisobutylene. 5. Fractionation of polyisobutylene by diffusion into mixtures of n-hexane and acetone resulted in the separation of the lower polymer fractions.

Abstract 1. The cryoscopic method is not satisfactory for polystyrenes containing more than twelve styrene units in the chain on account of the failure of their solutions to obey Raoult's law. 2. The present work has established a new Kcm value of 0.45×104 for benzene solutions of polystyrene to be used in the equation: A Kcm value of 0.6×104 has been similarly established for benzene solutions of polyindene. 3. Increased confidence in the viscosity-molecular weight procedure is derived from the data presented for the new Kcm equivalent covering a wide range of different polymers.

A family of low molecular weight gelators with different alkyl chain lengths was constructed, having excellent gelation ability and antibiotic loading capacity. A low molecular weight hydrogelator was obtained by adjusting the length of alkyl chain.
