Abstract
A newly developed theory regarding solute adsorption effect in viscometry of a polymer solution is reviewed and extended for determining the adsorbed layer thickness of polystyrene on a glass surface in viscosity measurements. This theory can adequately describe the concentration dependence of the viscosity of a polymer solution measured by glass capillary viscometer to the extremely dilute concentration region. Using this theory, both the free polymer chains in solution and the adsorbed polymer chain on the viscometer inner wall surface can be characterized. Examples are given for the characterization of six polystyrene samples with different molar masses by measuring their solution viscosity in benzene.
