Abstract

The characteristic ratio of unperturbed cellulose chain was computed as a function of the angle ฯ„ at, the bridge oxygen atom and the degree of polymerization. Very high values of the order of 40 or more, depending on the angle at the bridge oxygen atom, have been obtained for this ratio, indicating that cellulose chains are highly extended. The average dimensions of cellulose chains are found to be sensitive even for small changes in the angle at the bridge oxygen, and these chains attain the character of a random coil in very high molecular weight range (degree of polymerization greater than 2000). The large differences in the unperturbed dimensions of cellulosic chains observed in different solvents have been attributed to the possible small changes in the angle ฯ„ caused by specific solvent, interactions.

The unperturbed dimensions of poly-~-caprolactone (P~L), poly-t-propiolaetone (PilL) and polypivalolactone (PPL) have been evaluated theoretically. We find that the values of the characteristic ratio, Cยฎ, are 6" 66 (P~L), 3" 98 (P3L) and 8" 10 (PPL). The calculations are based, as usual, on the iso

The corresponding states theory for liquids consisting of polysegmented molecules is extended to mixtures of paraff-mic, olefinic, naphthenic and aromatic hydrocarbons; the previously derived partition function is generalized to yield expressions for the excess free energy, enthalpy and entropy. It
