Mechanical Degradation of Polymers in Dilute Solution. The Influence of the Mixed Solvents II.

稀搏溶液에서의 Polymer의 機械的 切斷. 混合溶媒의 영향 Ⅱ

The mechanical degradation of $poly(\alpha-methyl$ styrene) in several mixed solvents (chlorobenzene-n-butyl alcohol, chlorobenzene-sec-butyl alcohol, chlorobenzene-Kerosene, chlorobenzene-methylketone) was studied using the capillary flow method. The velocity constant of scission reaction (K) and the limited degree of polymerization (g) were compared at the same value of [${\eta}$], which is considered as the parameter of molecular dimension of polymers in solution. As results, (K) did not change much, even if the species and the volume fraction of poor(non-) solvents changed, while the value of (g) changed according to the species of poor (non-) solvents and the value of [${\eta}$] these results were discussed.
