β¦ Synopsis
AMtraet--A method tmethod 2L) has been proposed for evaluation of the unperturbed chain dimension A from the molecular weight dependence of the molecular friction coe~cient, derived from sedimentation and ditl'usion coefficients. This method is widely applicable when the unperturbed chain is non-Gaussian and;or the solvent molecules are semi-permeable through the polymer chain sphere {i.e. the solvent draining effect is not negligible). Literature data for cellulose and amylose derivative solutions have been analysed according to the method proposed here and the A values obtained thus are in good agreement with those by other methods for a non-Gaussian and draining chain.
