Polydispersity index from linear viscoelastic data: unimodal and bimodal linear polymer melts [PDF]
This article describes a method for determining the polydispersity index Ip2=Mz/Mw of the molecular weight distribution (MWD) of linear polymeric materials from linear viscoelastic data. The method uses the Mellin transform of the relaxation modulus of a simple molecular rheological model.

Impact of Particle Size and Polydispersity Index on the Clinical Applications of Lipidic Nanocarrier Systems [PDF]
Lipid-based drug delivery systems, or lipidic carriers, are being extensively employed to enhance the bioavailability of poorly-soluble drugs. They have the ability to incorporate both lipophilic and hydrophilic molecules and protecting them against degradation in vitro and in vivo.

Study and formation of vesicle systems with low polydispersity index by ultrasound method
The formation of liposomes with low polydispersity index by application of ultrasounds was investigated considering methodology specifications such as sonication time and sonication power. Phosphatidylcholine (PC) liposomes were formed by the evaporation-hydration method. The vesicles were sonicated using several sonication conditions.

The Use of Artificial Neural Networks for Optimizing Polydispersity Index (PDI) in Nanoprecipitation Process of Acetaminophen in Microfluidic Devices [PDF]
Artificial neural networks (ANNs) were used in this study to determine factors that control the polydispersity index (PDI) in an acetaminophen nanosuspension which was prepared using nanoprecipitation in microfluidic devices. The PDI of prepared formulations was measured by dynamic light scattering.
