The molecular characteristics of nitrocelluloses that are used as propellants and have nitrogen contents in the range from 12.2 to 13.44 mol% were characterized through both gel permeation chromatography (GPC) with a refractive index (RI) detector and solution viscometry measurements. The weight average molecular weights (Mw) and number-average molecular weights (Mn) estimated from the GPC measurements correlated well with the viscosity-average molecular weights obtained from the intrinsic viscosity measurements using an Ubbelohde capillary viscometer for the different nitrogen contents.

Keywords:nitrocellulose;GPC;capillary viscometer;intrinsic viscosity
