Abstract

We construct a model for the dynamic shear modulus $G(\ensuremath{\omega})$ of entangled or crosslinked networks of semiflexible polymer that can account for the high-frequency scaling behavior, $G(\ensuremath{\omega})\ensuremath{\sim}{\ensuremath{\omega}}^{3/4},$ that has recently been observed in solutions of the biopolymer $F$-actin. As we argue, this behavior should not be unique to F-actin, but rather should be a clear characteristic of semiflexible polymers in general. We also report molecular dynamics simulations that support the single filament response that is the basis of our model for the network shear modulus.

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.
