Notes:
A method is given for estimating the parameters K and β in the so-called Mark-Houwink equation \documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$ [\eta] = KM^\beta $\end{document} from measurements of molecular weight, intrinsic viscosity and second virial coefficient of a single polymer sample. Although the treatment is based on existing theories, certain approximations and its connection with the empirical Mark-Houwink equation reduce it to semi-empiricism. The method is restricted to linear polymers. Examples drawn from the literature are used to test the method.
