The linear viscoelastic and viscometric functions have been determined for solutions of wellcharacterized monodisperse linear and star-branched polystyrenes and for commercial, polydisperse polystyrene. The value of the product c\(\bar M_w \) for these solutions was large and was obtained by using both high and low\(\bar M_w \)
