Huggins equation
The Huggins Equation is an empirical equation used to relate the reduced viscosity of a dilute polymer solution to the concentration of the polymer in solution. The Huggins equation states:
Where is the reduced viscosity of a polymer in solution,
is the intrinsic viscosity of the solution,
is the Huggins coefficient, and
is the concentration of the polymer in solution. In isolation,
is the relative viscosity increment for the solution.
