Recentadvances on the static correlation properties of semidilute polymer solutions in good solvents, due to Des Cloiseaux, Daoud et ah, etc, are extended here to time-dependent properties. In this first paper, we ne-glect all hydrodynamic interactions between monomers(Rouse model): this in incorrect, but pedagogically useful. We show that (a) there is a characteristic frequency associated with the motions of chains between entanglement points (is independent of the molecular mass M and varies with the concentration c like c2· 75 in the Rouse model);(b) at frequencies smaller than(but larger than a certain relaxation rate 1/Tr for the total chain) a behavior reminiscent of polymer gels is expected;(c) atfrequencies above, or at wavelengths smaller than the correlation length, individual chain behavior is expected. We reexamine the single-chain modes in thepresence of excluded volume effects, and propose a certain scaling behavior. A by-product of the discussion is an improved understanding of the success of the Flory calculation for excluded volume exponents. We also present a tentative calcula-tion of the time Tr, using the reptation concept4 plus a model of “tube reorganization” and obtain Tr~ N3c for the Rouse model. All our results are qualitative and lack precise numerical coefficients.
