摘要

Polydisperse linear polymer melts can be microscopically described by the tube model and fractal reptation dynamics, while on the macroscopic side the generalized Maxwell model is capable of correctly displaying most of the rheological behavior. In this paper, a Laplace transform method is derived and different macroscopic starting points for molecular mass distribution calculation are compared to a classical light scattering evaluation. The underlying assumptions comprise the modern understanding on polymer dynamics in entangled systems but can be stated in a mathematically generalized way. The resulting method is very easy to use due to its mathematical structure, and it is capable of calculating multimodal molecular mass distributions of linear polymer melts.
