Abstract

The general theory of the turbidity of a mixture of many components is applied to a solution of homologous polymers. It is found that the concentration dependence of the turbidity is intimately related to that of the osmotic pressure. The molecular weight distribution does not have any influence on the concentration dependence of the turbidity.
