Abstract
The characteristic ratios of three samples of poly(1-hexadecene) with different tacticities were evaluated from intrinsic viscosity and mole cular weight data obtained with a size exclusion chromatograph with du al (concentration plus viscosity) detector. No significant differences were found for the characteristic ratio in the studied range of tacti cities. Theoretical calculations for the unperturbed dimensions were a lso performed for these samples by using the rotational isomeric state model, and compared with the experimental results.
