Abstract

A radial distribution function of polymer segments in a solution of a high polymer may be defined as a quantity proportional to the density of segments at a given distance from some given segment. An approximate expression is derived for this function for dilute solutions of chain molecules of moderate degrees of polymerization. By Fourier inversion a simple expression for the intensity of light scattering, as a function of angle and concentration, may be obtained.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
