Popis: Ethylcellulose has been investigated by osmotic pressure, sedimentation-diffusion, and light scattering measurements in dilute solutions of acetone, ethylacetate, 2-butanol, n-butylchloride, and benzene. Combining the results of different measuring techniques allowed the recognition and elimination of the influence of microgels present in the solution. The observed second virial coefficients are high as compared with those of the vinyl polymers and do not show a pronounced dependence on the type of solvent. On the other hand, the radius of gyration is nearly proportional to the root of the molecular weight. This behavior is discussed in connection with results on other cellulose ethers reported in the literature.
