Three samples of polyisobutylene were dissolved in isooctane at room temperature. The samples were mixed occasionally for a period of several days. The viscosity average molecular weights were determined with an Ostwald viscsiometer from the Mark-Hauwink equation. Inasmuch as interest in antimisting fuels is growing and ultrahigh mol. wt. macromolecules are markedly superior in their performance in antimisting fuels, this method may be used for rapid estimation of mol. wt. when the Mark-Houwink exponential term is known. 2 figures.
