4 results about "Inherent viscosity" patented technology

Inherent viscosity is the ratio of the natural logarithm of the relative viscosity to the mass concentration of the polymer. Inherent viscosity is defined as ηᵢₙₕ=lnηᵣₑₗ/c where c is the mass concentration of the polymer (g/dL) and ηᵣₑₗ is the relative viscosity, which is defined as ηᵣₑₗ=η/ηₛ where η is the viscosity of the solution and ηₛ is the viscosity of the solvent. The unit of inherent viscosity is dL/g.
