Abstract

Comb-shaped polymaleimides with aliphatic side chains are studied by molecular hydrodynamics and light scattering in chloroform dilute solutions. The side chains of macromolecules contain from 1 to 18 alkyl units, whereas for the main chain the degree of polymerization is almost the same for all the copolymers. The size and equilibrium rigidity of copolymer macromolecules increase with increasing number of carbon atoms in the alkyl side chain. A change in the conformational properties of copolymers resulting from side chain lengthening is caused by steric hindrances of bulky side groups. An increase in the length of side chains of copolymer macromolecules above 12 –СН2– groups leads to the appearance of their specific interactions (intramolecular segregation).
