ABSTRACT:

The intrinsic viscosity of a novel polymer Dextran* in various solvents like water, NaOH and KOH at different concentrations are calculated by graphical extrapolation of Schulz-Blaschke plot, and this is found to be in good agreement with values calculated by Solomon and Ciuta and Deb and Chatterjee.
