Abstract
Results of the investigations of flow and electric birefringence in solutions of some rigid-chain polymers — cellulose derivatives, ladder polymers, aliphatic and aromatic polyamides etc. — are reported and discussed. In their dynamooptical and electrooptical properties, these polymers exhibit some specific features as compared with flexible-chain polymers. Flow birefringence and electric birefringence are efficient methods for studying the structural and conformational characteristics of the macromolecules of rigid-chain polymers.KeywordsOptical AnisotropyKuhn SegmentFlow BirefringenceKerr ConstantElectric BirefringenceThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
