✦ Synopsis


A~traet--Copolymers of benzyl methacrylate with cyclohexylmethyl methacrylate were synthesized. The reactivity ratios of the monomers were established. Osmotic and viscometric measurement were made in isobutyl methyl ketone (IMK) and toluene at 25 ° for a copolymer of equimolar composition. The viscometric relations in both solvents were established. Viscometric studies of fractions of the 1:1 copolymer show discontinuities in the intrinsic viscosity [q] as a function of temperature and sharp changes in the unperturbed dimensions of the chain in IMK. Variations of the refractive index increment in the same temperature range were observed. This behaviour is interpreted as a conformational transition of the copolymer chain. The results are discussed in relation to the behaviour of the homopolymers in the same solvent.

The Ptitsyn-Eizner 2 flexibility parameter for poly(N-vinylcarbozole) solutions under theta conditions has been found to be 6.31, demonstrating the rigidity imparted to the polymer chain by the carbazole group. A study has been made of the variation of this parameter with solvent and temperature. A
