Abstract:	The synthesis of poly(γ-p-biphenylmethyl-L-glutamate), PBPLG, (poly ${L-imino-1-[2-(4-biphenylylmethoxycarbonyl)ethyl]-2-oxoethylene}$ ), (1d) is described. The viscosity behavior of this polymer in benzene/dichloroacetic acid mixtures (c=0,2.10 -3 - 1,4.10 -3 g/cm3) at 25°CC is investigated. The results are compared with measurements on poly(γ-benzyl-L-glutamate), PBLG, (poly[L-imino-1-(2-benzyloxycarbonylethyl)-2-oxoethylene]), (1c) under the same conditions. A transition from a rigid hydrogen bonded helix to a random solvated coil occurs in two stages for both: PBPLG (first stage 0-55%, second stage 55-100% dichloroacetic acid) and PBLG (first stage 0-70%, second stage 70-100% dichloroacetic acid). Therefore, the introduction of a p-phenyl substituent in PBLG leads to a less stable helix in benzene/dichloroacetic acid mixtures. The stability and viscosity behavior of PBLG in benzene/dichloroacetic acid mixtures (c=0,2.10 - 3 - 1,4.10 - 3g/cm3) is quite similar to the behavior of PBLG in m-cresol/dichloroacetic acid mixtures (c=1,0.10 - 3 - 4,0.10 - 3 g/cm3).
