The diffusion of long chains of molecular weight M (M-chains) into matrices of molecular weight P is studied by forward-recoil spectrometry. The matrix molecular weight P ranged from very short unentangled chains below the critical molecular weight for entanglement Mc to long highly entangledchains. Whereas the tracer diffusion coefficient D* of the M-chains is independent of P for sufficiently large P in the entangled regime (D*~ M™ 2), it rapidly increases with decreasing Pfor P less than a characteristic molecular weight P* which increases slowly with M. This behavior is consistent with theoretical predictions that D*= Drep+ Da. Here Drep is thediffusion coefficient due to thereptation of the M-chain, and Da is an additional matrix contribution to the diffusion of the M-chain that arises from the simultaneous diffusion of the surrounding P-chains (constraint release). We find that DCI scales approximately as M-1P “3. In the unentangled regime (P< Mc) studies were conducted at different temperatureswhere the fractional free volume of each matrix was equal to a constant, 0.042. Here the tracer diffusion coefficient scales approximately as D*~ jVf~< 0-5~-6) P~ 1, a result that is consistent with the chain diffusing as a coil of hydrodynamic radius R~ M~(a5~'6) in a viscous environment whose viscosity scales as P.
