The relation between the parameters K and a of the equation [η] = KM a , which has been empirically established by several authors, is discussed. Equations describing this relation are derived based on the two-parameter theory of the intrinsic viscosity for flexible chain polymers (where a<0.8) and on the worm-like cylinder model for stiff chains (a>0.8). The correspondence of calculated and empirical results is good.
