Abstract: | The des Cloiseaux law Π ∼︁ C9/4 describing the scaling relation between osmotic pressure and concentration in semi‐dilute solutions of neutral polymers in athermal solvent (good solvent) was tested on pullulan, which is a linear polysaccharide, using membrane osmometry. The experimentally determined exponent is 2.2865 ± 0.026, which agrees well with this power law and disagrees with the theoretical value of 2 based on the mean field approximation. |
