Abstract
Countercurrent extraction data have shown that ethylene oxide adducts of dinonylphenol have a wider molecular-weight distribution than is predicted by the Flory-Poisson calculation. The difference is attributed to the fact that the dinonylphenol is not completely converted to dinonylphenoxyethanol before subsequent monomer additions occur.
