Abstract
Ingelman and Halling1 have made measurements of sedimentation, diffusion and viscosity of fractions of dextran subjected to partial hydrolysis. On the basis of sedimentation and diffusion alone, and neglecting solvation, they concluded that the dextran particles are considerably elongated (length/thickness varying between 17 and 110).
