Effect of Temperature and Catalyst Concentration on Polyglycerol during Synthesis

Table 2

Summary table of polydispersity, number, and weight average molecular weights of polyglycerol synthesized at three different temperatures (130, 150, and 170°C) and catalyst concentrations 1.5% (w/w), 3.35% (w/w), and 5.2% (w/w).
