We construct a scaling description for the stochastic motions of long, flexible chains in good solvents.(1) Wereexamine the Edwards-Freed theory for the screening of hydrodynamic interactions, and show that the dynamical screening length is identical with the static correlation length£ introduced in connection with neutron ex-periments.(2) At long wavelengths 2/k>£ we find viscous modes reminiscent of a gel with a cooperative diffusion coefficient Dc &/6 7£(where T is the temperature, 170 the solvent viscosity). Dc should scale like c3, i where c is the concentration.(3) There is a characteristic frequency A^ Dc/£ 2 (~ c2-25) separating a many-chain regime from a single-chain regime. For frequencies> A, or for k£> 1, we find single-chain behavior with a characteristic frequency-k~ k3. We also attempt to describe the disentanglement of one chain using the reptation concept suitably extended to polymer solutions. This leads to a relaxation time Tr~ M3c3/2 and to a viscosity~ M3c3 75 (where M is the molecular mass).
