Abstract

A discretized version of the reptation model is proposed. The tube is modeled by a one-dimensional lattice and the polymer is modeled by a cluster of walkers, called reptons, on this lattice. Each repton represents a part of the chain. Reptons are allowed to hop between neighboring sites, but the cluster always remains connected. This model is solved analytically and numerically. In the experimentally accessible range of molecular weights M it predicts the diffusion coefficient D\ensuremath{\sim}${\mathrm{M}}^{\mathrm{\ensuremath{-}}2}$+O(${\mathrm{M}}^{\mathrm{\ensuremath{-}}3}$) and viscosity ${\mathrm{\ensuremath{\eta}}}_{0}$\ensuremath{\sim}${\mathrm{M}}^{3.4\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.1}$. .AE

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.
