Monolayers of long-chain fats and esters present some interesting features in molecular orientation, particularly as regards the effect of this orientation on the rate of hydrolysis when spread on alkaline solutions. The dibasic and tribasic long-chain esters (e.g. glycol dipalmitate and tripalmitin) orientate themselves in the interface, with their chains adjacent to one another. The monobasic esters of palmitic acid, however, as Adam (1929) has shown, behave somewhat differently, in that the alkyl chain, if shorter than five carbon atoms and lying extended on the surface in the expanded state, can on compression be forced under the surface into a vertically orientated position opposing the long acidic chain.

The inherent viscosities of dilute solutions of acidic polyesters of high purity have been compared with number average molecular weights accurately determined by end-group titration. For unfractionated resins with a degree of polymerization from 2 to 11 [Formula: see text] the viscosity – molecular weight relation is linear in chloroform at 25 °C. Where [Formula: see text], K = 1.923 × 10−5 and β = 0.0176. For fractionated polyesters from DP 5 to 8, K = 1.959 × 10−6 and β = 0.0161. For unfractionated resins with a DP > 11, molecular weights increase more rapidly than inherent viscosities. Above [Formula: see text] for fractionated resins linearity is resumed, and the slope increases. Several attempts have been made to explain this complex relation. Apparently the short chains remain linear, and the formation of anisotropic fibers at a DP close to 100 establishes a degree of molecular orientation in the long-chain superpolyesters. Isomerization of levo-diol to the diastereoisomer during polycondensation is without effect on the dilute solution viscosity of the resulting resin. Preferential degradation of the longer chains is assumed to be partially responsible for the decreasing slope from DP 11 to 65. As yet it has not been possible to assess the roles played by changes in size distribution, and variation in solvation with increasing chain length, but the data point to a curved viscosity – molecular weight relation in chloroform at 25 °C.
