Relaxation spectra are analyzed for vector and tensor modes of a polymer chain with rigidly constrained bond lengths and angles in dilute solution. Illustrative approximate calculations are made for a chain with independent bond rotational potentials, and the constraints are found to reduce the relaxation rates of local modes to values that overlap the rate spectrum of some global modes significant to mechanical shear response. We conjecture that mixing of local and global modes occurs in the region of overlap, and that as a consequence of mixing a gap develops in the spectrum of relaxation rates. Pending a quantitative study of mixing, a crude approximation is made that the global modes with small relaxation rates retain a Rouse–Zimm form, while modes in the region of overlap have rates elevated significantly above the frequencies used in mechanical shear experiments. Then numerical values of the enhanced rates are unnecessary for the calculation of the complex dynamic viscosity. The latter is given by a...
