Small-angle X-ray scattering studies of moderately concentrated dextran solution

In this study, we investigated about the molecular structure of moderately concentrated aqueous dextran solution using well-characterized dextran hydrolyzates. sults of this study have clarified the properties of dextran molecules in aqueous solution and have confirmed the validity of small-angle X-ray scattering measurement for the investigation of dextran molecules in aqueous. olecular interactions of dextran were observed in concentrated solutions, even if the solution was not saturated. These phenomena are probably attributable to the exclusion volume effect. In addition, dextran has a core of precipitates.
