“…where Á r = relative viscosity or viscosity ratio (Á r = t/t o , being t o the efflux time of the solvent and t the efflux time of the solution in a given concentration), Á r − 1 = Á sp (Á sp = specific viscosity), Á sp /c = Á red = reduced viscosity or viscosity number, c = concentration, [Á] h = lim c → 0 Á sp /c = intrinsic viscosity or limiting viscosity number of Huggins, [Á] k = lim c → 0 ln Ár /c = intrinsic viscosity or limiting viscosity number of Kraemer, [Á] SB = limÁ sp → 0 Á sp /c = intrinsic viscosity or limiting viscosity number of Schulz-Blaschke, and k h , k k and k SB = coefficients of Huggins, Kraemer and Shulz-Blaschke, respectively. Experimental results show that k h < 0.50 and k k < 0 indicate good solvents, while k h > 0.50 and k k > 0 indicate poor solvents (Delpech et al, 2007(Delpech et al, , 2002a(Delpech et al, , 2002bDelpech & Oliveira, 2005;Mello et al, 2006Mello et al, , 2005Silva et al, 2013).…”
