โฆ Synopsis
The mean-square radii of gyration of cisand trans-I ,4-polybutadiene and corresponding I ,4-polyisoprene were derived using Abe's and Flory's rotational isomeric scheme. Calculations performed using available experimental data showed that the dependence of the mean-square radius of gyration on the molecular weight for these stereoregular polydienes can be expressed as
where a and b are constants characteristic of the polymer. This behaviour is analogous to that of vinyl polymers and poly-l ,i-disubstituted ethylenes discussed in the preceding papers of the present series. The mean-square radius of gyration of 1 ,4-polyisoprene with predominantly trans units is more sensitive to stereoirregularity than with predominantly cis units. However, 1,4-polybutadiene chains are comparatively insensitive to the stereochemical composition.

The mean-square radius of gyration of polymer chains with side-groups was formulated using the method of matrix algebra with the rotational isomeric state approximation. If the effect of the side-groups is neglected, the expression reduces to that reported by Flory. The molecular weight dependence o
