Rodlike and random coil behavior of poly(n-butyl isocyanate) in dilute solution

摘要

It is known from previous light-scattering and dielectric measurements that the poly(n-butyl isocyanate) (PBIC) molecule has a stiff and rigid conformation and can be described as rodlike.1,2 The significance of such a discovery is that PBIC has a geometrical configuration similar to many biological molecules, and it can be used as a model to study the hydrodynamic and polymer chain configuration of this class of macromolecules.
