Abstract
The viscosity-radius relationship for semi-dilute polymer solutions is derived using scaling arguments. The viscosity temperature and the temperature radius relationships are combined using the transitive equality relationship. The viscosity-radius relationship is determined to be . The reduced viscosity observed with both increasing temperature and increasing shear rate then results from a reduction in coil radius.
