Static light scattering behavior was examined for poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) and poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) of small weight-average molecular weightMw(3 × 103−2 × 104), in methanol and water at 25.0 °C, the former polymer having hydroxy groups at both ends and the latter having a methoxy group at one end and a hydroxy group at the other. It was found that some aggregates of large size are formed in aqueous solutions of the PEO samples withMw= 3.81 × 103and 7.00 × 103, while all PEG and PEO samples are isolated in methanol solutions, and the PEG samples and the PEO sample of the largestMw(=1.60 × 104) are also isolated even in the aqueous solutions. From the results of dynamic light scattering measurements for the aqueous solution of the PEO sample withMw= 3.81 × 103at 25.0 °C, there were detected two classes of scatterers having different sizes, i.e., the isolated chains and aggregates, the apparent hydrodynamic radius of the latter beingca. twenty times as large as that of the former.
