✦ Synopsis

A series of new copolymers of tetrafluoroethylene (TFE) and hexafluoropropylene (HFP) containing up to 50 mol % of the hexafluoropropylene comonomer have been investigated with respect to chain conformation and crystal structure using wide-angle X-ray diffraction (WAXD). Increasing HFP content leads to significant departures from the highly ordered crystalline structure of the homopolymer PTFE; the helical conformation of the chain relaxes and untwists to accommodate the larger OCF 3 pendant group in the HFP unit. Simultaneously the lateral hexagonal packing of the helices becomes less ordered and the a-dimension of the hexagonal cell increases. The above effects are progressive with increasing HFP content. At 50 mol % HFP incorporation the structure is a disordered crystalline phase.

## Abstract The circular dichroism (CD) spectrum of poly‐L‐lysine and poly‐L‐glutamic acid has been investigated in the presence of a small percent of side‐chain blocking groups. The blocking groups benzyl, methyl, and carbobenzoxy show qualitatively similar effects. Less than five mole percent of
