Notes:
Spectra of polarized light scattered from model networks of polystyrene swollen by benzene have been measured by optical mixing spectroscopy. Various series of networks of different functionalities and different lengths of the elastic chain elements have been investigated. A theoretical expression for the characteristic time constant of fluctuations has been derived from rubber elasticity theory. An analysis of the experimental results within the framework of this theory allows determination of the frictional constants of the gels.
