Abstract
The theory of the concentration dependence of the viscosities of solutions is developed for the dumbbell, rigid rod, and flexible chain macromolecules. Both the intramolecular hydrodynamic interactions between the monomer units of the same molecule and the intermolecular interactions between monomer units of different molecules are considered. The methods of Riseman and Kirkwood are applied throughout. The numerical result of the calculation for the dumbbell shaped molecule is compared with that obtained by Simha.Keywords
