β¦ Synopsis
Light-scattering measurements have been carried out Ior 18 samples of polyamide hydrazide (PAH} in dimethylsulphoxide (DMS) with an over 10-fold variation in molecular weights. It was shown that the excluded volume effect in DMS does not appreciably affect the size of PAH molecules. The length of the Kuhn seg~_ment (A ,-240.10 Scm) was estimated from the experimental determinations of molecular weights M,, and the radii of gyration (Re):. Viscometric determination of the rigidity of PAH chains yields the value of A --_ 200.10 Scm and the hydrodynamic diameter d ~ 5. 10 8cm. The whole collection of data shows that PAH is a typical rigid-chain polymer: the extended conformation is due to the backbone rigidity tather than to the excluded volume effects.
