Scaling of Polymer Diffusivity in Confined Colloid-Polymer Systems

ORAL

Abstract

We show how the diffusivity of a polymer chain in a colloidal suspension varies with the extent of confinement and the number of segments, as well as with concentration of colloids. These predications are compared with experimental results
