Direct Demonstration of Self-Similarity in a Hydrodynamic Treatment of Polymer Self-Diffusion

The self-diffusion coefficient of a polymer in solution may be expanded in the concentration of the polymer, as seen in equation 1. The linear term would represent a perturbation due to the presence of another polymer; the c^{2} term would represent a perturbation due to interactions of trios of po...
