Abstract

Measurements of refractive index are presented for the liquid crystal-forming polymer cellulose triacetate dissolved in trifluoroacetic acid. The refractive index increment changes above the critical concentration to a lower value. This change is ascribed to the light scattering caused by orientation fluctuations in the alignment vector of the molecular axes.
