Abstract
AbstractGeneralized Rouse–Zimm equations are derived using a local equilibrium ansatz for the segment distribution function. The relaxation frequencies depend on excluded‐volume effects and other interactions such as entanglement in semidilute solutions through exact static correlation functions. For the case of ring polymers general expressions are given for diffusion coefficients and mean‐square displacements. By use of the “blob” model, explicit results are presented for a dilute good‐solvent system.
