Abstract

Molecular chain conformations of poly‐γ‐methyl‐L‐glutamate, poly‐γ‐methyl‐D‐glutamate, and poly‐γ‐methyl‐D,L‐glutamate in membranes prepared by using mainly trifluoroacetic acid and formic acid as solvents were investigated by infrared, X‐ray diffraction, and optical rotatory dispersion measurements. It was pointed that these polymers exist in the α‐helix form in membranes cast from trifluoroacetic acid solutions, but in the β‐chain form in membrances swollen in formic acid. The β‐chain structure was also observed in crystals precipitated from dilute solutions including formic acid. The formation of the β‐chain structure was discussed.

The radiation-induced graft copolymerization of 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA) onto poly(g-methyl-L-glutamate) membranes was investigated in ethanol. The effects of dose, dose rate, concentration of HEMA, and temperature on the degree of grafting were studied. The initial rate of grafting copoly
