The zero-density shear viscosity of different types of short Lennard-Jones chains, up to the hexa-decamer, has been evaluated using a non-equilibrium molecular dynamics scheme. Simulations have been performed on chains of variable rigidities going from the fully flexible to the fully rigid chains. Very interestingly, it is found that there exists a universal relation (a power law) between the zero-density viscosity of the Lennard-Jones chains and their radius of gyration whatever the rigidity of the chain and for all tested temperatures (ranging from 2.5 to 6 in reduced units). Furthermore, for the studied range of temperature, it is shown that the zero-density viscosity of both fully flexible chains and fully rigid chains models can be obtained with an accuracy of a few percents knowing only the dimer viscosity and the length of the chain.
