ZUSAMMENFASSUNG:Es wird iiber Lichtstreuungsmessungen an Polypropylenglykolen mit Molekulargewichten von M = 400 bis 4000, an monomerem und dimerem Propylenglykol, an Diphenyl, Tristearin und Pentaerythrittetrastearat in Losung berichtet. Die molekulareinheitlichen Substanzen dienten zur Untersuchung der Leistungsfiihigkeit der Lichtstreuungstechnik im Bereich niedriger Molekulargewichte. Fiir den CABANms-Faktor und das Brechungsinkrement wurde eine Abhsngigkeit von Molekulargewicht und Konzentration gefunden.Die Streulichtmessungen an den polymerhomologen Propylenglykolen in Verbindung mit Viskositatsmessungen in Aceton und Benzol wurden zur Charakterisierung des Losungsverhdtena venvendet. Es ergab sich, d& fiir die Propylenglykole der Charakter eines geknsuelten Fadenmolekiils bis zu vie1 niedrigeren Polymerisationsgraden als bei den meisten anderen Polymeren erhalten bleibt. Der zweite Virialkoeffizient steigt von den hoheren Molekulargewichten bis M = 400 schwach an, wird fiir das Dimere anniihernd 0 und fiir das Monomere negativ. Der Viskositatsexponent in [q] = K Ma bleibt beim PPG/Benzolsystem bis zu M w 500 herab groaer ah 0,5.
SUMMARY:Light scattering measurements in solution have been carried out on polypropylene glycols in the molecular weight range from M = 400 to M = 4000, on monomer and dimeric propylene glycol and as well on diphenyl, tristearin, and pentaerythritol tetrastearate. The substances of uniform molecular weight were investigated in order to test the applicability of light scattering technique in the low molecular weight range. It was found that CABANNES factor and refractive index increment depend on molecular weight and concentration. Light scattering studies together with viscosity measurements were used in order to characterize the behavior in solution of the polymer homologue polypropylene glycols in benzene and acetone. The result was that the polypropylene glycols preserved the character of a coiled chain molecule to a much lower degree of polymerisation than most of the other known polymers. The second virid coefficient rises slightly from the higher molecular weights to M w 400, approaching zero for the dimer and turning negative for the monomer.The viscosity exponent a in the equation [q] = K Ma remains above 0.5 down to M w 500 in the case of the polypropylene glycol/benzene system.
A light‐scattering phtometer for measurements on solutions in the angular range 6–170° is described. Its use is illustrated by the determination of the average molecular weights Mw and Mn, as well as the gyration radii 〈r2〉z1/2 and 〈r2〉n1/2, on a polystryene fraction.
