Specific Refractive Index Increment (∂n/∂c) of Polymers at 660 nm and 690 nm

The specific refractive index increment (∂n/∂c) is an essential datum for the accurate quantitation of molar mass averages and distributions (inter alia) of macromolecules when refractometry, static light scattering, and/or viscometry detection are coupled on-line to size-based separation techniques. The latter include methods such as size-exclusion and hydrodynamic chromatography, and asymmetric and hollow-fiber flow field-flow fractionation....
