Abstract
The paper is concerned with the conformational characteristics of polyacryl onitrile in dilute solutions. The observed dependences of the solution prop erties, P, on the molecular weight (P = K .M-3) in the oligomers and in the ultrahigh molecular weight regions were quantitatively explained by the Ya makawa theory that takes into account the effects of chain ends and chain s tiffness and by the statistical mechanics theory.
