41. Shorter chains are detected preferentially in the MALDI-TOF mass spectrum of polydisperse PBLG. We suspect that longer chains are not detected because of aggregation which inhibits desorption of PBLG from the matrix.

47. The inhomogeneous azimuthal intensity distribution of the diffraction rings suggests that the PBLG-4 film is partially oriented. The Teflon plate used to cast this film contained scattered scratch marks which may have contributed to the orientation of the film. When films were cast on smooth surfaces these signals were observed as homogeneous rings.
