Home          Volume & Surface Area of Nano Particles and Number of Molecule

This program calculates the volume, weight and moles of a polymer in the core and shell of a particle of a given size of the core and shell. The calculation uses as input the particle radius, shell diameter, density of core and shell and also the molecular weight of the core and shell polymer. Of course in case of inorganic compounds the respective properties of the inorganic materials can be used. 

If the shell is solvated the density of the shell has to be reduced. Assuming that the shell polymer is swollen in solvent for a polymer with a density of 1.2g/cm3 a value of >1.2g/cm3 would give a better representation of the actual conditions.
