Abstract
The experimental results of th Brillouin shift and width for poly(vinyl alcohol) and poly(vinyl chloride) gels as a function
of gel network volume fraction have been analysed using the theory of Marqusee and Deutch for Brillouin light-scattering from
polymer gels, incorporated with a new plausible assumption relating the speed of sound in the gel network with its volume
fraction. It has been found that the essential features of the behaviour of th Brillouin shift and width are well described
by the theory over most of the range of the volume fraction.
