✦ Synopsis

The dielectric properties of poly (a-glutamic acid) and poly ( y-glutamic acid) aqueous solutions in the fully ionized state have been investigated in the frequency range from 1 MHz to 1 GHz by means of frequency-domin dielectric spectroscopy measurements. In this frequency range, micro-Brownian dynamics and internal motion of side-chain polar groups give rise to nonexponential reluxation processes resulting in an intermediate dielectric relaxation between that due to the counterion atmosphere polarization and that due to the orientationul polarization of the water molecules. In this work, we study the influence of the polymer concentration in the dilute-semidilute regime on the dielectric parameters, i.e., the dielectric increment AE and the reluxation time r , and discuss their relevance in the light of some scaling pictures recently proposed by Dobrynin, Colby, and Rubinstein to describe the unentangled regime of pexible polyelectrolyte solutions.
