Interpretation of long-chain structure from dilute solution properties of ultrahigh molecular weight polymers

Summary

Systematic studies on solution properties of ultrahigh molecular weight polymers showed the existence of some special features as compared to usual length polymers. The paper discusses the possible appearance of branched structures in the polymerization process, structures able to influence the mentioned features. From experimental data on poly(methyl methacrylate), poly(butyl methacrylate) and polyacrylonitrile it appears that branching can be excluded, and the very high molecular weight domain considered may be responsible for the modifications observed in the molecular weight dependences on <S2>, A2 or [ν].
