摘要
A molecular model is introduced to describe the linear viscoelasticity of tightly entangled solutions of semiflexible polymers. An expression for the stress of a solution of wormlike chains is derived, and a tube model is used to describe the effects of entanglement. Consideration of the Brownian dynamics of the polymer within its tube yields a dynamic modulus G*(omega)proportional to(i omega)(3/4) at high; frequencies, in agreement with the results of recent :microrheology experiments-on actin solutions.
