Mechanical Degradation of Polymers in Dilute Solution (III). The Influence of the Mixed Solvents

稀薄溶液에서의 Polymer의 機械的 切斷 (제3보). 混合溶媒의 영향

The mechanical degradation of poly (-vinylacetate) in several mixed solvents (dioxane-n-butanol, dioxane-sec-butanol, dioxane-ethyleneglycol, dioxane-kerosene.) 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 result, (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 solvents and the value of [${\eta}$]. From the facts described above, It follows that the limited degree of polymerization (g) were affected by the composition and distribution of mixed solvent molecules around the polymer chain, and the value of $\alpha$ (at [${\eta}$] = $KM^a$) in the polymer solution.

毛細灌法을 利用하여 여러가지 混合溶媒系(dioxane-n-butanol, dioxane-sec-butanol, dioxane-ethyleneglycol, dioxane-kerosene)중에서 polyvinylacetate의 희박용액을 機械的으로 切斷하여 그 결과로 얻어진 平均切斷速度定數(k) 및 極限重合度(g)를 moleculare dimension이 동일한 조건하에서 比較검토하였다. 그 결과 k보다는 g의 값이 사용하는 solvent의 종류에 따라 크게 영향을 받음을 알았으며 이에 關하여 考察하였다.
