Conformational behaviour of poly(2,6-dimethyl-1,4-phenylene oxide) in solution—I

Abstract: A~traet--Intrinsic viscosities [7] of poly(2,6-dimethyl-l,4-phenylene oxide) (PPO) solutions have been measured as a function of temperature between 60 and 25°C. The solvents were toluene and trichloroethene. In both solvents, the [r/]-T curve exhibited a point of inflection in the range 45 35 ~. This phenomenon is explained as a conformational transition, which is possibly involved in the nucleation process of the solution crystallization of PPO. Assuming constancy of the coil expansion factor ~,f and the sol… Show more

“…The x-ray diagrams in Figures 4 to 10 A similar process of drying in the case of a sample a t 130°C requires a period of time of several weeks, and several months (Fig. Similar accounts for PPO were published elsewhere [12] in the instance of toluene and trichloroethylene, for which the conformational changes occur in a different temperature range (25 t o SOOC). The differing time of formation of the ordered structure of PPO indicates various degrees of convolutions of macromolecules in those cases.…”

“…The aim of the present study is to check our earlier estimation [1] of the change of the radius of gyration with temperature for poly(2,6-dimethyl-l,4-phenylene oxide) (PPO) dissolved, for example, in toluene. This change was calculated from the change of intrinsic viscosity with temperature, using the Flory Fox equation:…”
