What is the procedure to find the viscosity of chitosan solution?
Use a viscometer or rheometer.
The viscosity of a polymer solution is strongly dependent on concentration and the molar mass of the polymer. Additional information might be found in the following article:
Rheological properties of chitosan solutions
