Popis: Isotactic, syndiotactic and atactic polymethyl methacrylate were prepared by proper methods and fractionated. With these fractions, the theta temperatures and the entropy parameters,ψ 1, were determined in four solvent systems from the precipitation measurements, and the intrinsic viscosities were compared between isotactic and atactic modifications at the theta temperatures. It was pointed out that the unperturbed dimension and the entropy parameter of the isotactic species, respectively, are larger than those of the atactic species. Also, it was found that the temperature dependence of the unperturbed dimensions is quite different for both isomeric forms. The molecular dimensions of the isotactic modification in non-interacting media were interpreted in accordance with the semi-flexible chain treatment ofFlory.
