Notes:
The hydrodynamic properties of fractionated samples of poly-4-vinylpyridine have been studied. The intrinsic viscosities and the Huggins' constant (k′) have been obtained. The effect of shear on the viscosity disappears at high dilution. The sedimentation constants (S0) have been measured, and the streaming birefringence has been investigated at various concentrations and shear gradients. The Peterlin theory for concentrated solutions is in good agreement with the results for the orientation angle, but is not so well in accord with the magnitude of the birefringence. The partial specific volume is low (0.685). Molecular weights have been calculated for the fractions, and it is concluded that the shape of the molecules in solution approximates to that of a stiff coil.
