Abstract:

Dissipative patterns during the course of dryness of aqueous solution of potassium salt of poly(riboadenylic acid) (KPolyA) in the presence of potassium chloride were studied on a cover glass, a watch glass and a glass dish. Accumulation of KPolyA polymers forming the broad ring area and the drastic change in size and shape of the polymer single crystals depending on the location of the dried film, which are the typical effects of the dissipative crystallization, took place. Polymer crystals formed were spherulites, dendritic and rod-like assemblies, which are composed of the single or double helical chains depending on the pH-value of the initial solution.
