Abstract It has been shown that the shear-rate dependence of the viscosity of concentrated polymer solutions can be explained in terms of known parameters of the solution. If the concentration, temperature, zero shear viscosity, and molecular weight of the polymer are known, the decrease in viscosity with increasing shear rate can be predicted. Conversely, if one measures the shear-rate dependence of the viscosity, the molecular weight may be computed. We believe this provides a convenient method for the absolute determination of molecular weights of linear, coiling, high polymers.
