Summary From diffusion data of xylose in poly (acrylic acid) and in poly(sodium acrylate) aqueous solutions, the behaviour of these polymers in solution is discussed. When these polyelectrolytes are ionized and expanded in water, consequently, the diffusion phenomena of xylose in these solutions follows the theory of linear macromolecules in solution. When NaCl is added in poly (acrylic acid) solution, the polymer chain contracts and becomes spherical. Therefore, xylose cannot pass through the polymer domain. With poly(sodium acrylate), however, an effect of salt has not been found. Furthermore, effects of neutralization are discussed.
