Abstract We describe the behavior of dilute polymer solutions by means of light-scattering under shear flow. Solution properties of polystyrene in benzene over a wide range of molecular weight has been studied to determine the coefficientsa andK of the Mark-Houwink relationship and to estimate the rheological conditions with regard to light-scattering experiments of flowing polymer solutions. The investigations were carried out to measure the shear-rate dependence of macromolecules in solution, e.g., to observe an orientation and changing of the mean-square radius of gyration.
