Abstract
AbstractA model of polymer melt diffusion recently proposed by Skolnick, Yaris, and Kolinski and which does not invoke reptation as the dominant mechanism of polymer melt motion is used to fit polymer self‐diffusion constant data measured by Antonietti, Fölsch, and Sillescu for a homopolymeric melt as well as for a probe in a larger molecular weight matrix. The quality of fit of the data indicates that reptation theory cannot be verified by simple comparison to diffusion constant measurements.
