摘要:

我们提出的实验证据表明,由D. C. Morse [Phys. Rev. E { \bf 63},031502,(2001)]提出的有效介质近似(EMA)提供了宏观平台模量$G^{0}\proptoρ^{4/3}L^{-1/3}_{p}$的正确标度律(其中$ρ$是每单位体积的轮廓长度,$L_{p}$是持久长度),在高度纠缠的浓度范围内。竞争的理论,包括自洽的二元碰撞近似(BCA),而不是预测$G^{0}\proptoρ^{7/5}L^{-1/5}_{p}$。我们已经测试了EMA和BCA缩放预测使用肌动蛋白丝(F-肌动蛋白)的解决方案,允许实验控制$L_p$独立于其他参数。被动视频粒子跟踪微流变学和动态光散射的组合产生的弹性模量$G$和$L_{p}$分别独立的测量。因此,我们可以区分这两个建议的法律,在以前的实验研究,重点是(歧视性较低)的浓度功能的$G$。

英文摘要:

We present experimental evidence that the effective medium approximation (EMA), developed by D.C. Morse [Phys. Rev. E {\bf 63}, 031502, (2001)], provides the correct scaling law of the macroscopic plateau modulus $G^{0}\proptoρ^{4/3}L^{-1/3}_{p}$ (where $ρ$ is the contour length per unit volume and $L_{p}$ is the persistence length) of semi-flexible polymer solutions, in the highly entangled concentration regime. Competing theories, including a self-consistent binary collision approximation (BCA), have instead predicted $G^{0}\proptoρ^{7/5}L^{-1/5}_{p}$. We have tested both the EMA and BCA scaling predictions using actin filament (F-actin) solutions which permit experimental control of $L_p$ independently of other parameters. A combination of passive video particle tracking microrheology and dynamic light scattering yields independent measurements of the elastic modulus $G$ and $L_{p}$ respectively. Thus we can distinguish between the two proposed laws, in contrast to previous experimental studies, which focus on the (less discriminating) concentration functionality of $G$.
