Abstract

The crossover region in the phase diagram of polymer solutions, in the regime above the overlap concentration, is explored by Brownian dynamics simulations to map out the universal crossover scaling functions for the gyration radius and the single-chain diffusion constant. Scaling considerations, our simulation results, and recently reported data on the polymer contribution to the viscosity obtained from rheological measurements on DNA systems support the assumption that there are simple relations between these functions, such that they can be inferred from one another.
