Preferred Label : relative viscosity increment;
IUPAC definition : The ratio of the difference between the viscosities of solution and solvent to the
viscosity of the solvent, i.e. η i η- η s η s, where η is the viscosity of the solution
and η s is the viscosity of the solvent. The use of the term 'specific viscosity'
for this quantity is discouraged, since the relative viscosity increment does not
have the attributes of a specific quantity.;
