Abstract
The position of the maximum on small-angle scattering curves of solutions of poly(aspartic acid) neutralized with NaOH is proportional to the third root of concentration. The course of the interference function and the characteristic interchain distance were determined. The data may be interpreted using a model of ordered chains and assuming that the chain length per one monomer unit is smaller than would correspond to the all trans-conformation.
