✦ Synopsis
A~tract--The flow birefringence of solutions of hydroxypropylcellulose (HPC) in dimethylacetamide and tetrachloroethane has been investigated over a wide range of molecular weights. Comparison of the experimental dependence of shear optical coetficient [n]/[rt] on molecular weight with the theoretical dependence for rigid wormlike chains made it possible to determine the equilibrium rigidity of HPC molecules. The segment length thus determined is in good agreement with the evaluation of rigidity from viscometry and diffusion data. The optical anisotropy of HPC molecules, (~l -~2) = 500 x 10 2s cm 3 and the degree of their intramolecular orientational-axial order were determined.

The electric birefringence of collagen solutions has been measured over a wide range of field strength with the pulse technique. The soluble collagen was from rat tail tendon. The solvent used was dilute acetic acid. Very pronounced saturation of the electric birefringence was observed, permitting c
Birefringence of poly-A, poly-U, and double-stranded poly-AU are investigated experimentally as well as theoretirally. Single-stranded poly-A, a t low ionic strength, exhibits a strong negative birefringenre indicating that adenine molecules are stacked regularly with their planes along the transver
Three different semi-IPN polyimide systems were prepared through blending in solution by using two different polyimides, such as poly (p-phenylenebiphenyl tetracarbonyimide) (BPDA-PDA) and poly (4,4Ј-oxydiphylene pyromellitimide) [PMD-A-ODA(E)], and two different oligomers, such as bismaleimide (MDA
