Optical and physical properties of wet-spun films of Na-hyaluronate. Evidence of a phase transition.

M R Flowers1, R L Marlow, S A Lee, N Lavalle, A Rupprecht.   

Abstract

The refractive indices, water content, and volume of wet-spun films of Na-hyaluronate have been measured as a function of relative humidity (rh). These data are used with the Lorentz-Lorenz formula to determine the optical polarizabilities of Na-hyaluronate parallel and perpendicular to the helical axis. The analysis reveals a drop in the optical polarizabilities of approximately 20% between 80 and 88% rh, indicating a phase transition.
