Abstract
This study developed Kuhn-Mark-Houwink-Sakurada (KMHS) equations for k raft lignin, based on the absolute molecular weight characterized with low-angle laser light scattering. The KMHS exponential factors of kra ft lignin were found to be 0.11, 0.13 and 0.23 in dimethylformamide (D MF) at 318.2 K, in DMF at 350.7 K and in 0.5 N sodium hydroxide at 303 .2 K, respectively. Lignin molecules in solution are approximately sph erical particles and slightly solvated with solvent.
