Abstract
This article deals with the investigation of high-molecular-weight poly(met hyl methacrylate) dilute solutions. The conformational transitions were fol lowed as a function of temperature and solvent nature (ethyl acetate, butyl acetate, monochlorobenzene, o-dichlorobenzene) by using ultraviolet (UV) s pectrophotometry and viscometry. The systems involving ethyl acetate as a s olvent presented some peculiarities in the temperature dependence of the UV spectra.
