Abstract
Abstract Gels formed from liquid crystalline solutions of poly (γ-benzyl-L-glutamate) in benzyl alcohol have been studied by a variety of techniques. It seems that the junction points in the gels are crystalline in nature, possibly from a crystallosolvate phase. These crystallites are so small that they are well below the resolving power of the optical microscope. Hence observation under the polarising microscope shows behaviour in broad accord with the Flory predictions, and with no correlation between the optical transitions and the gel-sol transition. Additionally, at high temperatures, coexistence of two anisotropic phases is seen.
