From the author: The homopolymer of maleic anhydride was synthesized by free radical initiation and characterized. Molecular mass measurements of 14 selected fractions yielded [M.sub.w] ranging from 1.1 x [10.sup.4] to 14.7 x [10.sup.4] g/mol. Intrinsic viscosities obtained from the fractions in DMF at 25 [degrees] C were analyzed on the basis of the theory of Yamakawa et al. The persistence length was 2.3 [+ or -] 0.1 nm and [M.sub.L] was 600 [+ or -] 10 [nm.sup.-1]. The conformation of the poly(maleic anhydride) molecules in DMF is considered to be semiflexible.
