*1 Fikentscher's value of viscosity characteristics K-value represents a viscosity index relating to molecular weight and is calculated by the following Fikentscher's formula with relative viscosity which is measured by capillary viscometer at 25 C
K= (1.5 log η_rel -1)/ (0.15+0.003c)+ (300c log η_rel + (c+1.5clog η_rel)²)^1/2/ (0.15c+0.003c²)
η_rel : Relative viscosity of aqueous polyvinylpyrrolidone solution to water
c : Content (w/w%)of polyvinylpyrrolidone in aqueous polyvinylpyrrolidone solution
*2 Measured with 10% aqueous solution
