Abstract
Universal ratios of critical amplitudes give relations among the exponents characterizing molecular weight dependence of critical amplitudes in polymer solutions. These relations can be deduced from special scaling forms of the free energy density and correlation function proposed. The classical values of the exponents are also derived from the Flory–Huggins theory.
