Notes:
Kinetic studies are reported for the light scattering and elasticity of thermally reversible gels of cellulose acetate in benzyl alcohol over a range of temperature and polymer concentration. The small-angle light scattering data are found to be described by exponential correlation functions, and it is concluded that the scattering has its origin in the nonrandom character of the crosslinking in the gels studied. The elasticity is discussed in terms of the density of crosslinks in the gels. Thus, the kinetics studied by light scattering and elasticity measurements are independently related to temperature and polymer concentration.
