β¦ Synopsis
The intramolecular (segmental) mobilities of poly(vinylpyrrolidone) and poly(vinylcaprolactam) in solutions have been investigated using the spin label technique. The rotational correlation times for the segments do not depend on the spin label used for their determination. The rotational correlation times and the effective segmental dimensions for poly(vinylcaprolactam) are greater than those for poly(vinylpyrrolidone), the difference being due to different dimensions of the side-groups of the macromolecules. Near the temperature of phase separation in an aqueous solution of poly-(vinylcaprolactam), the hydrophobic interaction of macromolecular side-groups leads to the compression of the molecular coil. As a result, the segmental mobility diminishes, and the spatial limitations on the rotation of a spin label surrounded by bulky side-groups become more severe.

## Abstract The overlap concentration of poly(__N__βvinylcaprolactam)s (PVCLs) of low molecular weights was studied with dynamic and static methods (with viscosity and refractiveβindex measurements) at three temperatures (25, 30, and 35Β°C). This concentration, determined by viscometry, was lower th
