Figure 4 TDS chromatograms for low molecular weight, fully hydrolyzed PVA.<br />

viscosity vs. retention volume curves. As expected, alinear response for both<br />

molecular weight <strong>and</strong> intrinsic viscosity is demonstrated.<br />

Acomparison <strong>of</strong> molecular weight distributions obtained from TDS <strong>and</strong><br />

MALLS is shown in Figs 5<strong>and</strong> 6. Figure 5overlays the molecular weight<br />

distributions for all five partially hydrolyzed grades used in this study.Figure 6<br />

overlays the molecular weight distributions for the four fully hydrolyzed<br />

grades. The molecular weight distribution calculations used aspecific refractive<br />

index (dn/dc) value <strong>of</strong> 0.143 for partially hydrolyzed PVA<strong>and</strong> avalue <strong>of</strong> 0.150<br />

for fully hydrolyzed PVA(2). The molecular weight distribution plots determined<br />

fromTDScomparereasonablywellwiththosefromMALLS<strong>and</strong>theMini-Dawn.<br />
