In a polymer solution, a theta solvent is a solvent in which polymer coils act like ideal chains, assuming exactly their random walk coil dimensions. Therefore, the Mark–Houwink equation exponent is 1 / 2 {\displaystyle 1/2} in a theta solvent. Thermodynamically, the excess chemical potential of mixing between a polymer and a theta solvent is zero.
