Dynamics of a polymer gel network is described by the theory proposed by Tanaka, Hocker, and Benedek (THB) that gives the diffusion coefficient of a polymer network. Here,Kis the osmotic bulk modulus,Gis the shear modulus, andfis the friction coefficient between the polymer network and the solvent. Although several experimental studies investigated the dynamics of a polymer gel network, the THB theory has yet to be quantitatively validated. In this study, we quantitatively validate the THB theory by comparingDandGof Tetra-poly(ethylene glycol) gels measured by dynamic light scattering and dynamic viscoelastic measurement. The THB theory well described the linear increase inDwith increasingGand gaveKandffrom the slope and the intercept. The gel network structural parameter dependences of the givenKandfwere well explained by the scaling laws. These results suggest that the THB theory is almost valid.
