Electric birefringence was investigated for solutions of polychlorohexylisocyanate fractions for molecular weights 30·6 × 104-1·2 × 104 in tetrachloromethane. Experimentally found dispersion of the Kerr effect is used for estimating the coefficients of rotatory diffusion Dr of molecules. A comparison of rotatory diffusion Dr values with molecular weights M and intrinsic viscosities [η] of fractions shows that the value of DrM[η] decreases with M. This illustrates the change in the conformation of molecules from a random coil to a rod. On the basis of experimental dependences of Dr and the Kerr constants K on M, the main structural parameters of the polymer investigated were determined: the number of monomer units in a segment, the projection of the length of the monomer unit on the axis of the molecule, the value of the dipole moment μ0 of the monomer unit and the angle formed by μ0 and the chain direction.
