The significance of variables and their interactions were tested by means of the ANOVA with 95% confidence limits; the standardized effects were investigated by Pareto chart, the optimum values of the selected variables were obtained by analyzing the response surface contour plots. The optimized Mw value of 1. 217 × 10^5 g/mol was very close to the industrial value ( ( 1.22 ±0. 004) ×10^6 g/tool) at the optimum values.展开更多
