Viscosity and density studies for 0.01–0.14% (w/w) poly( N ‐vinyl‐2‐pyrrolidone) (PVP) in water and in water and 0.01% bovine serum albumin (BSA) were conducted at 283.15, 288.15, 293.15, 298.15, 303.15, 308.15, and 313.15 K. The viscosity coefficients and the activation‐energy, free‐energy, enthalpy, and entropy changes were calculated from viscosity data for viscous flow. On this basis, PVP–PVP, PVP–BSA, PVP–water, and BSA–water interactions and PVP and BSA shape factors were investigated and rationalized in terms of the water structure. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
