Record 1, Textual support, English
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 DEF
The average of the molar mass or relative molecular mass (molecular weight) for a polydisperse polymer. 1, record 1, English, - molar%2Dmass%20average
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 OBS
The unit "gram per mole" (g/mol) is recommended in polymer science for molar mass M because the numerical values of the molar mass and the relative molar mass of a substance are then equal. 1, record 1, English, - molar%2Dmass%20average
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 2 OBS
Three types of average commonly used are number-average, mass average (weight-average) and viscosity-average. 1, record 1, English, - molar%2Dmass%20average
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 3 OBS
molar-mass average; molecular weight average; relative molecular-mass average: terms and definition standardized by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). 2, record 1, English, - molar%2Dmass%20average

Moyenne de la masse molaire ou de la masse moléculaire relative (poids moléculaire) pour un polymère polydispersique. 1, record 1, French, - moyenne%20de%20masse%20molaire
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 OBS
L'unité «gramme par mole» (g/mol) est recommandée dans la science polymérique pour la masse molaire M parce que les valeurs numériques de la masse molaire et de la masse moléculaire relative d'une substance sont alors égales. 1, record 1, French, - moyenne%20de%20masse%20molaire
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 2 OBS
