INTRODUCTION
Segmental anisotropy (a i — a2) of a chain molecule may be determined experimentally from measurements of flow birefringence in the solution of a polymer with a sufficiently high molecular weight, so that the conformation of its molecules would correspond to that of a Gaussian coil. For calculating (^ 1 — OL1) , Kuhn's equation was used (Ref. 1):
VII-748 VII-748 (Al) VII-749 VII-750 VII-751 VII-751 VII-752 VII-752 VII-752 VII-752 VII-755 VII-755 VII-755 VII-756 VII-756 VII-756 VII-756 VII-757 VII-757 VII-758 VII-760
where A r is the tangential flow stress (shearing stress), An is the observed flow birefringence of the solution, g is the velocity gradient, c and 77 are the concentration and the viscosity of the solution, respectively, [77] and [n] are intrinsic values of viscosity and flow birefringence of the solution, and 770 and n are the viscosity and the refractive index of the solvent. The value A n / A r = [n]/[rj\ may be called the shear optical coefficient. Another method of determining segmental anisotropy (which is seldom used) is through the measurement of stress birefringence in swollen polymers (74). The stress optical coefficient e = An/Ap (where Ap is the normal stress in the sample) determined experimentally is equal to AnjlAr (2), where An/Ar is also related to (a 1 - a2) * according to Eq. (Al). Data obtained by this method are marked in the table with the symbol sw. p. (swollen polymer). If the refractive indices of the polymer and the solvent are not equal, the experimental value of (OLi-Oi1) includes not only the intrinsic segmental (a\ -OL1), but also a part produced by the form effect (3,4). In this case the value a ] -OL1 may be calculated using (a 1 -OL1) and the theoretical equation for macro- and micro-form effects (3,4).
For determining a\ — Ot2, it is preferable to use the "matching" solvent in which the increment of index of the polymer, dn/dc, is equal to zero The tables give the intrinsic segmental anisotropy, a i — a 2 , obtained directly from measurements in the "matching" solvent, as well as the (a\-a2)* values including the form effect. The corresponding figures are marked with the symbol *. In some of the reviewed works in which measurements were carried out in "nonmatching" solvents, the segmental anisotropy was calculated on the basis of the theory of the form effect (3,4). In these cases the figures are marked with the symbol **. Intrinsic segmental anisotropy of the polymer chain in various solvents, even in the absence of the form effect, may differ owing to a "specific" effect of the solvent (see, e.g., poly(vinyl acetate)) (5-11). "Specific" effect may probably includes phenomena such as a change in the type of rotation of the side groups (5,6,8,12), a change in the polarizability of its bonds, and the short-range ordering of the solvent molecules (11). Principal values which effect the intrinsic segmental anisotropy of the chain are the anisotropy of the monomer unit and the equilibrium rigidity of the chain. The Kuhn segment with the length A is the measure of the equilibrium rigidity of the chain. If the chain adopts the conformation of the Gaussian coil, then we have A = (r2)/L, where L is the complete length of the extended chain and (r 2 ) is the mean square end-to-end distance. Also, a\\—a± is the difference between the polarizabilities of the monomer unit in the parallel and perpendicular directions of the chain. Values of a ^ —a^ presented in the table were calculated from
Many rigid-chain polymers have been investigated in the molecular-weight range in which their molecules exhibit a conformation intermediate between the rodlike conformation and the Gaussian coil. The best model for these polymers is the wormlike chain. Under these conditions the shear optical coefficient An/Ar varies with the molecular weight M of the polymer and is given by the equation (100) (A3) where B = (4n/45kT)(n2 4- I)1Jn, (71 - 72) is the mean value of the wormlike chain optical anisotropy, (h2) and (Zi4) are the mean square and fourth degree end-to-end distance of the wormlike chain. For the wormlike chain, the value of (71 - 7 2 ) as a function of the reduced chain length x = 2L/A is given by the equations
(A4)
According to Eqs. (A3) and (A4) the limit values of An/Ar for wormlike chains are as follows: at x —* 0, (An/Ar)0 = B(^i — 7I)JC —> 0 as for a thin rod, and at x —> 00, (An/Ar)^ x = B(a\ — Ct2) as for a kinetically flexible Gaussian coil. The dependence of An/Ar on M for the wormlike chains given by the Eqs. (A3) and (A4) may be approximated (100,101) by a linear relationship (A5) between the inverse values {An/Ar)" and M~[\
(A2) where A is the length of the monomer unit in the chain direction. For cellulose esters, a\\ —a\_ and correspondingly, a i — a 2 depend on the degrees of substitution (DS), which are also given in the table. For heterocyclic polycondensation polymers, the term "monomer unit" means the repeat unit of the polymer chain.
(A5) where MQ is the molecular weight of the repeat unit of the chain. If the experimental dependence of {An/Ar) ~ on \/M is plotted, the slope of the straight line obtained makes it possible to calculate Aa = a^ —a±, and its intercept with the ordinate gives ct\ -Qt2.
