The dependence of the viscosity on temperature and shear rate was observed for some poly(ethylene oxide) gels with different polymeric concentrations. An algorithm of analysis of experimental data, based on the Arrhenius and power law models, and a mathematical function describing the dependence of the viscosity on temperature and shear rate are proposed.
