Abstract: | The coil-globule transition was studied by static light scattering measurements on poly(methyl methacrylate) with the molecular weight Mw×10-6=2.35 and 4.4 in isoamyl acetate. Since the phase separation of the dilute solution occurred very slowly, the measurements could be made in the broad temperature range from near the Θ temperature 61 °C to 0 °C 30 min after a quench of the solution. The observed expansion factor α2 for the radius of gyration was represented as a function only of τM1/2 and showed a constant value at large -τM1/2 with τ being 1-Θ/T. A quantitative comparison between a recent theory for a contracted coil and the data of α2 revealed the coil-globule crossover phenomena. The behavior of plot of 1/α3 versus -τM1/2 was distinctly different in the three ranges, i.e., coil range, globule range, and range of a constant α. The plot of the observed second virial coefficient A2 against temperature yielded a minimum as predicted from a theory of A2 below the Θ temperature |
