Problems related to entanglement
Bulk polymers: welding, processing, phase separation, failure
Solutions: rate of dissolving, intracellular transport, separations for genomics, joining PVC pipe!

Reptation—a theory to describe random snaking in polymer tangles
There once was a theorist from FranceWho wondered how molecules dance."They're like snakes," he observed,"as they follow a curve,the large ones can hardly advance."*

Need: better diffusion methodsProblem: lots of things appear to obey this scaling lawSuggests: look at the ignored systems, especially RODS

To isolate spaghetti in "solution" with a fork is To isolate spaghetti in "solution" with a fork is difficult: hydrodynamic interactions interfere difficult: hydrodynamic interactions interfere with entanglement. After solvent is drained to with entanglement. After solvent is drained to obtain a "melt" the entire blob is easily handled. obtain a "melt" the entire blob is easily handled.

Our Hypothesis
Solutions containing rodlike diffusers may provide evidence for entanglement-like
phenomena in solution…or at least prove interesting, fun and challenging.
Evidence would be: sudden drop-offs in mobility with concentration, failure to
follow continuum mechanics.
![Page 20: Applications of Fluorescence Photobleaching Recovery ACS Polymer Group Raleigh, North Carolina Thursday, November 8](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649cff5503460f949d02e8/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Rods should make effective probes. But very challenging:
Early de Gennes paper on rod/coil diffusion: 19 citations
Same era de Gennes paper on coil/coil reptation: 479 citations
We may expect some problems!
Why it’s worth it: composite precursorfluids, dissolution rate, phase sep’n rate, relation to GPC, CGE of rods, intracellular transport.

Two TMV’s in Transmission Electron Microscopy

An ear of corn has about as many kernels as TMVhas protein subunits (ca. 2130). The protein
subunits enfold a spiral-wound strand of RNA whichwill encode the next generation. TMV is more
extended than an ear of corn.

TMV CharacterizationTMV Characterization
Sedimentation, Electron Microscopy & DLS Most TMV is intact. Some TMV is fragmented.
weaker, faster mode in CONTIN decay analysis
Intact TMV is easy to identify stronger, slower mode in CONTIN
It is easy to measure at low concentrations that avoid TMV-TMV interactions in DLS and we can use small amounts in FPR after dye attached.
Huh?

Tobacco from the Carolinas to Connecticut
![Page 30: Applications of Fluorescence Photobleaching Recovery ACS Polymer Group Raleigh, North Carolina Thursday, November 8](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649cff5503460f949d02e8/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
If tobacco goes away…
“Traditionally in Kentucky great mounds of brush are piled and burned in February to prepare a bed for tobacco seedlings. I remember spending most of the day hauling and piling brush. My dad would start the fire in late afternoon and we would sit up most of a cold February or March night stoking the fire, watching the stars, and roasting hot dogs or marshmallows over the bonfire. Many times neighbors would stop by and sit with us for a spell around the fire, talking into the night.”
