Abstract

Cooperative diffusion coefficient (Dcoop) describes the dynamics of a polymer network in a gel, and is estimated by three independent methods. We measured three Dcoop's of a model polymer network system (Tetra-PEG gels), and obtained the experimental evidence to fundamentally understand the dynamics of polymer gels.
