Abstract

Abstract 1. The relative viscosity of a rubber solution, the concentration of which does not exceed 0.3 per cent, does not change with change in temperature. 2. The viscosity of rubber solutions at concentrations from 0.3 to 10 per cent diminishes in direct proportion to an increase in the temperature. 3. Based on the results mentioned above and on the measurements of Abernethy the state of rubber in solutions is characterized by the fact that at concentrations up to 0.3 per cent the solutions are molecular. At concentrations from 0.3 to 10 per cent the solutions contain micelles. In solutions of still higher concentrations the rubber forms a continuous phase of the system.
