Key Points: Molecular Mass and Degree of Polymerization of Polymers

  • Molecular mass of a polymer is the average molecular mass of all its polymer chains.
  • Molecular mass depends on the degree of polymerisation (DP).
  • Degree of polymerisation (DP) is the number of repeating monomer units in a polymer chain.
  • Higher DP means higher molecular mass and generally stronger polymer properties.
  • Polymers with hydrogen bonding require lower DP to achieve stability compared to those with weak intermolecular forces.
