Free relaxation of electric birefringence in tetrachloromethane solution of high molecular weight poly(butyl-isocyanate) was studied. The effect of electric field strength on the average relaxation time was observed. The relaxation spectrum was analyzed using the Rouse and Zimm theories. With increase in the electric field strength, the contribution of fast (deformation) relaxation modes also increased significantly. It is assumed that certain changes in intramolecular mobility occur under the influence of electric field.
