Notes:
Several poly-1-hexene samples were prepared using different Ziegler-Natta catalysts, and their solubilities in dense carbon dioxide (CO2) were studied. Despite the varied molecular weight distributions (MWD) in the polymers, a surprising correlation was found between intrinsic viscosity and dense CO2 solubility. Due to the ability of dense CO2 to extract low-molecular weight fractions preferentially, it is recommended that narrow MWD polymers be used, as far as possible, for dense CO2 solubility determinations.
