Abstract
The molecular weight‐viscosity relationships for polystyrene are reviewed and it is recommended that the Staudinger relationship be discarded in favor of the conventional modification of it, [η] = KMa. An emulsion‐prepared polystyrene was fractionated and the viscosities and osmotic molecular weight determined. The corresponding relationship between the viscosities in butanone and toluene is observed to follow the above equation. A table containing the molecular weight‐viscosity relationships for polymers is appended.Keywords
