Abstract
The number of parameters that have influence on the flow behavior of a polymer solution is, as will be shown in the upcoming chapters, enormous and makes it difficult to interpret the viscosimetric measurements. For this reason, viscosimetric measurements are carried out with dilute sample solutions to minimize the interactions of the single polymer molecules. In this case, only the interactions between the polymer and the solvent are determined. The dilute state of solution is shown in Fig. 4.1.
