he solution conformational properties of two polysaccharides, scleroglucan and xanthan, were investigated in order to better understand their structure-property relationships. Light scattering, viscosity and optical rotation were the primary tools used in this investigation.;In order to find a suitable solvent to determine the unperturbed dimensions of glucans possessing the ;An attempt was made to shift the transition temperature (T;It was demonstrated that xanthan undergoes a transition induced by increasing temperature as well as by increasing...
