Abstract The importance of data produced by gel permeation chromatography (GPC) in polymer engineering is emphasized. The steps involved in deriving a differential molecular weight distribution curve (dMWD) from the chromatogram obtained by GPC are outlined. Each step is described, indicating its importance. Several viscosity‐molecular weight relationships, useful in the production of relevant calibration curves from the polystyrene calibration, are included. The presentation of results and experimental procedures are given.
