Abstract

On the basis of experimental data obtained for the viscosity in aqueous solutions of hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (metolose), it has been found that a structural transition takes place in dilute solutions of rod-like macromolecules with the increasing temperature. Namely, macromolecules form clusters in which they are arranged in parallel to one another. It is shown that this transition is a set of local phase transitions of the first kind.
