Did you mean Polydispersity Index?

GlossaryPolydispersity Index

measure of molecular size distribution in a polymer sample

The Polydispersity Index (PDI) is a measure of the distribution of molecular mass in a given polymer sample. It indicates how uniform or varied the sizes of the molecules are within the sample. A PDI value close to 1 suggests a uniform molecular size, while higher values indicate a broader range of molecular sizes. This term is particularly important in fields like materials science and biochemistry, where the consistency of molecular size can impact the properties and behavior of materials or biological molecules.
