Synonyms Used in print (Harry H. Hull, "The Normal Forces and Their Ther...)By this method it was determined that the normal pressure exerted by a sample of polybutene ( molecular_weight reported to be 770 ) was over half an atmosphere . The two fluids which gave the small negative pressures were polybutenes with molecular_weights which were stated to be 520 and 300 . These are fluids which one would expect to be less viscoelastic or more Newtonian because of their lower molecular_weight . (Jay C. Harris and John R. Van Wazer, "Detergent...)As_is well_known , detergent actives belong_to the chemical class consisting_of moderately high molecular_weight and highly polar molecules which exhibit the property of forming micelles in solution . |
