Polarized and depolarized light scattering measurements are reported for polystyrene-carbon tetrachloride solutions in the vicinity of the coil overlap concentration. The molecular weight of the polystyrene used in this experiment was M, = 2 x 107. The radius of gyration, determined in dilute soluti

β¦ Synopsis
The angular dependence of light scattered by aqueous semi-dilute solutions of unhydrolysed polyacrylamide has been systematically measured as a function of polymer molecular weight, concentration, temperature and time. The behaviour is similar to those already described for other systems of polymer-solvent in the same concentration regime and exhibit a high excess of intensity in the small angle range. These effects are attributed to macromolecule association due to a long range attractive potential; a new expression for the angular dependence of the scattered intensity is developed, taking into account this potential.
