Abstract: The dependence of the principal characteristics of light scattering on composition of the acetone-chloroform and acetone-chloroform-poly-(methyl methacrylate) mixtures was investigated. The discontinuous course of these relationships in the presence of polymer indicates the existence of a conformational transition at which the mixture exhibits disorder characterized by an increase of fluctuations in concentration and thus by an increase in isotropic as well as total light scattering.
