Abstract
WANS experiments were performed in order to investigate the liquid state of atactic polystyrene. It was found that PS undergoes both a reversible and an irreversible structural change at a temperature which corresponds to T ll the liquid-liquid transition. These results plus earlier results on birefringence are interpreted in terms of a structural model presented by Mitchell and Windle.
