Abstract
⺠We calculate the loop formation time for a chain in a viscoelastic fluid. ⺠Looping is faster for the chain in a viscoelastic fluid than in a Newtonian fluid for short chains. The trend is reversed for long chains. ⺠No stable scaling of the looping time with the chain length seems to exist.
