The dynamics of single polymer chains have been investigated in dilute solution and in the melt using the neutron spin—echo technique. In dilute solution the intramolecular motion is described to a first approximation by that for a Rouse chain incorporating hydrodynamic interactions (Zimm). It is characterised by an inverse correlation time which may be normalised by temperature, solvent viscosity and segment size, and which for long chains varies as Q3 at small scattering angles (Q is the change in wavevector on scattering). At very low Q vectors the predicted ‘universal’ regime is observed, but over most of the accessible range chemical structure also becomes important. For short chains, deviations from this Q3 behaviour are associated with overall molecular diffusion. In the melt, chain entanglements come into play and modify the simple Rouse-type motion. The correlation functions are described by a combination of Rouse motion over short distances and times and a long-time slow-motion predicted by the reptation model of melt dynamics.
