Reptation of a Polymer Chain in the Presence of Fixed Obstacles
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors studied possible motions for one polymer molecule P performing wormlike displacements inside a strongly cross-linked polymeric gel G. The topological requirement that P cannot intersect any of the chains of G is taken into account by a rigorous procedure: the only motions allowed for the chain are associated with the displacement of certain "defects" along the chain.
