Summary
Linear macromolecules of the poly(2-ethylhexyl acrylate) were prepared by solution polymerization in toluene at 12 °C, using azobisisobutyronitrile as initiator. The polymer was fractionated and the fractions characterized by the methods of light scattering, osmometry and viscometry. Mark-Houwink-Sakurada relations at 25°C in solvents of different thermodynamical quality have been determined.
