Abstract
The theoretical interpretation of the dipole moment and the relaxation time measured experimentally on the once-broken poly(γ–benzyl L-glutamate) molecule is presented in this paper. The rotatory motion of molecule can be separated by using the center-of-mass coordinates and the appropriate variables. The diffusion equation is solved by a perturbation method, and the relaxation time thus obtained can explain the experimental results.
