Abstract
In dilute solutions, diffusion of a single chain can be described by a non-draining mode of the coil. In the concentrated bulk phase, diffusion of a short chain can be described by a free-draining mode of the bead-spring Rouse chain, while diffusion of a long chain can be described by the tube model for a Rouse chain reptating along the primitive path. Scaling analysis is a powerful tool to learn their characteristic dynamics in various time scales.
