Abstract

Near the critical point of two nonmiscible liquids the reduced viscosity of a polymer diverges to infinity. These very high values of the reduced viscosity must be characterized as "apparent" values because they are not due to an increase of the dimensions of the macromolecular coils but to an increase of the correlation length of the two liquids by the presence of the polymer.
