Abstract
The aggregation of poly(γ-benzyl L-glutamate) in dioxane, benzene, tetrahydrofuran, and cyclohexanone was studied by dielectric dispersion. The agregates of the side-by-side type were found to form in dioxane and benzene, but probably not in cyclohexanone and tetrahydrofuran. In contrast, the aggregates of the head-to-tail type were observed in tetrahydrofuran and cyclohexanone. The origin from which the molecular aggregates should appear is discussed with special consideration of the electrostatic interaction between the solute molecules.
