The dynamics of linear chain polymers is studied in concentrated solutions. This paper is based on the « reptation » model of de Gennes, which is a theory of the motion of a polymer in the presence of many topological constraints. Here theoretical and numerical work is presented to extend this theory to include many chain interactions. A theoretical argument is presented that gives the scaling behaviour of the longest relaxation time of a polymer melt as a function of the molecular weight M of individual chains. The main prediction is that these excluded volume interactions alter the relaxation time from M3 to M3 exp (const. × M 2/3 + O (M1/3)). This new theory agrees in many respects with a direct simulation of the reptation model that inc...
