11. The 2% solution in this paper appears to be off by a factor of 10 in terms of its viscosity in comparison with that of the 6% solution. Since the plateau stress values are reasonable for both solutions, it seems that the molecular weight in the 2% solution is only half of that in the 6% solution.
