✦ Synopsis
Abstraet--A study has been made of the concentration dependence of the sedimentation coefficient S of the two 0 systems (I) polymethylmcthacrylate in n-butyl chloride at 35 ° and (II) polystyrene in cyclohexane at 34°; also for the non-0 system CIII) polyisobuty[ene in cyclohexane at 34 °. In each case, the behaviour was well represented by the equation.
[S~o]-1 = [Sol -~ (1 + kCo)
where subscripts Co and 0 represent intital concentrations of Co and zero respectively. Values for k are 251 4-53, 72 4-22 and 721 4-159 ml.g -x for systems I, II and III respectively. Results for systems I and II thus indicate that, under 0 conditions, k does not equal zero. Furthermore, when combined with other reported data, the results for system II indicate the suitability of the recent theory of Pyun and Fixman for the frictional coefficients of polymer molecules in solution.

A procedure is described for computing sedimentation coefficient distributions from the time derivative of the sedimentation velocity concentration profile. Use of the time derivative, (delta c/delta t)r, instead of the radial derivative, (delta c/delta r)t, is desirable because it is independent of
The time-derivative method for deriving the sedimentation coefficient distribution, g(s\*), from sedimentation velocity data that was developed by Walter Stafford has many advantages and is now widely used. By fitting Gaussian functions to the g(s\*) distribution both sedimentation and diffusion coe
