Viscosimetry is to this day an easy accessible, but at the same
time significant an alytical method for the characterization of
polymers in solution. It is therefore widely used in the technical
chemistry and chemical engineering like pharmaceu tical, medical,
polymer processing and food industries as weIl as in research insti
tutes and universities. Viscosimetry allows for a fast and
low-priced determination of relevant parameters such as solution
structure, volume fraction, coil dimensions, molar mass, viscosity
or thermodynamical properties of a polymer in solution. The
importance of viscosimetry as an independent area in the field of
polymer analytics becomes clear through the Nobel prices awarded
for two works in this area. The name of the 1953 honored Prof.
Hermann Staudinger for his proof of the existence of polymers is
still used in viscosimetry in the intrinsic viscosity (German:
"Staudingerindex") (see "Intrinsic viscosimetry" in Chap. 4). In
1974, Prof. Paul J. Flory was honored with the Nobel price for his
groundbreaking works on the conformation of polymers in solution
and his name is conserved for pos terity in the Flory constant (see
"The Fox-Flory theory" in Chap. 8)."
