Abstract

The mean‐square radius of gyration for polysiloxanes has been derived according to the exact definition. Taking account of the examples of symmetrically substituted poly(dimethylsiloxane) and unsymmetrically substituted poly(methylphenylsiloxane), we find that the dependence of 〈S^2^〉 on the molecular weight follows the general formula 〈S^2^〉 = aM^b^ with b = 1 ± 0.016, which is analogous to the theoretical outcomes for vinyl or vinylidene polymers even though the skeletal bone of polysiloxanes consists of alternating heteroatoms. A numerical comparison of the rigorous expression of the mean‐square radius of gyration given in this paper with that reported by Flory shows that the difference is obvious for low‐molecular‐weight polymer and it gradually declines with increasing degree of polymerization.
