✦ Synopsis

The behaviour in dilute solution of head-to-head (H-HI polypropylenes, covering the range M,, = 0.22 to 4.19 × 104, has been studied in cyclohexane as solvent at 303 K. The data could be represented by two distinct Mark-Houwink equations describing the low and the high molecular weight regions. The unperturbed dimensions of {H-H) polypropylenes were found to be less than those for conventional atactic polypropylene in agreement with theoretical predictions. The tbeta temperature for (H-H) polypropylene in isoamylacetate was found to be 316 K. At this temperature the characteristic ratio was estimated to be 4.5 compared with 6.4 for atactic and syndiotactic polypropylene. The conclusion is that (H-H) placements in polypropylene increase the flexibility of the chain.

## Abstract Head‐to‐head polyisobutylene degrades at a maximum rate at 320°C, a temperature about 65°C lower than head‐to‐tail polyisobutylene. Under our conditions, head‐to‐tail (the regular polyisobutylene) degrades (as do many other disubstituted vinyl monomers) to a high yield of the monomer is
