## Abstract Quasielastic light scattering is used to study saline solutions of polyadenylic acid with varying polymer concentrations and molecular masses. These experiments clearly show the existence of two relaxation times. For dilute solutions, when the chains are mutually independent, the fast m

β¦ Synopsis
The autocorrelation function of the intensity fluctuation of light scattered from dextran solutions, together with the angular dependence of the integrated intensity of the scattered light, has been measured by means of single-photon counting. The data were analyzed by considering the molecular-weight distributions of the samples obtained by gel-permeation chromatography. The molecular-weight dependence of the diffusion coefficient, and the relation between the radii of gyration and the hydrodynamic radii thus obtained, proved that dextran molecules behave as random coils in aqueous solution. The molecular-weight-distribution curve measured by gel-permeation chromatography has been demonstrated to be useful in the analysis of light-scattering experiments for polydisperse, macromolecular solutions.
