Conformational transition in poly(p-tert-butylstyrene)

Dilute-solution properties and temperature dependence of unperturbed chain dimensions for poly(p-tert-butylstyrene)

“…Suffice it to note that our [77] values (Table VI) are in agreement with [17] values determined in the other good solvents benzene and cyclohexane at this molecular weight (see Figure 1). Furthermore, Kq values given in Figure 3 of ref 36 suggest C» values of ca. 40-50, in strong disagreement with results presented above and earlier.8-10 Thus, the claimed36 conformational transition for the PtBS/toluene system is not observed in our laboratory.…”
