The viscosity of the resin calculated by Ostwald viscometer (calibrated) using Gallenkamp water bath (thermostatic).
Viscosity of Schiff base prepared as well as of resin was assessed by standardized Ostwald Viscometer. The synthetic resin and the Schiff base having a concentration ranging from 0.024 to 0.064 g/dL were provided by DMF accumulation in samples reweighted in a volumetric flask.
Solution viscosity was obtained from a one-point method (22) using an Ostwald viscometer at 25 [degrees] C with the concentration of polycarbonate solution of 0.005 g/ml.
