Notes:
Viscosity and sedimentation experiments were made for fractions of cellulose acetate CA (degree of substitution, D.S. = 2,46) in acetone and CA (D.S. = 2,92) in N,N-dimethylacetamide (DMAc) at 25°C. The following empirical relations were established between the sedimentation coefficient at infinite dilution s0 and the weight average molecular weight M̄w: s0 = 1,02 · 10-14 M̄w0,39 (s) for CA (D.S. = 2,46) in acetone and s0 = 1,83 · 10-14 M̄0,24w (s) for CA (D.S. = 2,92) in DMAc. From the analysis of the molecular weight dependence of s0 and the limiting viscosity number [η] (method 1B) and the concentration-dependence parameter ks and [η] (method 1E), the solvent draining parameter X was estimated to be less than 1, indicating that the free draining effect cannot be ignored. The unperturbed chain dimension parameter A was determined from data on s0 and M̄w to be between 1,72 · 10-8 and 1,80 · 10-8 cm for CA (D.S. = 2,46) in acetone and between 1,63 · 10-8 and 1,68 · 10-8 cm for CA (D.S. = 2,92) in DMAc. These values are in good agreement with those estimated by thermodynamic and viscometric approaches.
