Abstract

AbstractPersistence vectors a ≡ 〈r〉 are calculated for polypropylene, polystyrene, and poly(methyl methacrylate) chains as functions of chain length and stereochemical constitution. Differences between the progressions of a with chain length for these vinyl polymers are related to their conformational characteristics. The preferences of the syndiotactic chains for the tt dyad conformation are manifested most strikingly in the behavior of this vector.
