Relaxation by reptation and tube enlargement: A model for polydisperse polymers
Abstract
Modern theories of the dynamics of concentrated polymeric liquids have not yet accounted for the effects of polydispersity to a sufficient extent. In order to approach quantitatively the problem of polydispersity, a model is proposed here which is based on the concept that the “tube” of constraints around a chain enlarges as the relaxation proceeds. Predictions of linear viscoelasticity obtained with this model compare favorably with experimental results on homopolymeric blends reported in the literature. However, the theory is limited to the case of very long chains and it embodies an arbitrary, if plausible, closure assumption in the self‐consistency scheme. Thus, quantitative agreement remains incomplete.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
