Notes:
Integrated-intensity light scattering data are reported for moderately concentrated solutions of polystyrene in benzene and in cyclopentane. The benzene system is one for which the second virial coefficient A2 is large; data obtained over the range 0.5 〈 A2Mc 〈 30, with c the polymer concentration, are analyzed in terms of the (extrapolated) intensity at zero angle and the angular dependence of the intensity. The former is discussed in terms of power law representations based on scaling relations, which are found to represent the data. The latter is discussed in terms of the dependence of the chain dimensions on concentration. With cyclopentane, the behavior is similar for temperatures for which A2 is near its maximum, but for T near either ΘU or ΘL, for which A2 is zero or small, the angular dependence of the scattering is distinctly different, with the intensity exhibiting a maximum as a function of scattering angle.
