Abstract: | The possibility of treating a wormlike polymer as a random coiled polymer is examined. Taking from the literature intrinsic viscosity data concerning several wormlike polymers, we use two graphical methods which have been proposed for flexible polymers. These methods are only applicable in the region of molecular weights where the wormlike polymer presents a relatively great number of statistical segments. From the values of unperturbed dimensions obtained by the graphical methods, we obtain the statistical segment of wormlike polymers at Θ conditions. |
