## Abstract The electric birefringence of poly‐L‐lysine hydrobromide in methanol–water mixtures has been measured at 25 °C over a wide range of field strengths by use of the rectangular pulse technique. An abrupt change in the specific Kerr constant was observed between 87 and 90 vol % methanol, co

## Abstract An electric birefringence apparatus with an He–Ne laser is described, which permits a high sensitivity of measurement for field strengths up to 20 kV/cm and pulse durations between 10^−5^ to 1 sec. It is applied to poly(γ‐benzyl‐L‐glutamate) and poly(β‐benzyl‐L‐aspartate) in a nonaqueou
## Abstract Transient electric birefringence of poly(L‐α,γ‐diaminobutyric acid hydrochloride) in methanol/water mixtures has been measured over a wide range of field strengths and solvent compositions and at different polymer concentrations and temperatures. The molar ellipticity at 222 nm and the
## Abstract The theory of adsorption of semistiff chains on a planar surface developed by the authors previously has been used to consider the helix–coil transition in single‐stranded macromolecule interacting with an adsorbent plane. The cases of nonselective interaction when the adsorption energy
