The physical properties (such as transition temperature, viscosity, etc.) and mechanical properties (such
as strength, stiffness, and toughness) depend on the molecular weight of polymer. The lower the
molecular weight, lower the transition temperature, viscosity, and the mechanical properties. Due to
increased entanglement of chains with increased molecular weight, the polymer gets higher viscosity in
molten state, which makes the processing of polymer difficult.
