Title: Crossover regime for the diffusion of nanoparticles in polyethylene glycol solutions: influence of the depletion layer
Abstract: The viscosity in soft matter systems is a scale dependent quantity. In solutions the viscosity of nanoprobes of size R approaches the viscosity when R exceeds the radius of gyration of the R(g). The nano to macroviscosity crossover occurs for R similar R(g). Here we analyze diffusion in a polymer (polyethylene glycol) of nanoparticles in the crossover regime. We report a scale diffusion coefficient in this regime due to non-uniform in the depletion layer around particles. The phenomenological of the slow diffusion coefficient as a function of probe size is to the same scaling for macroscopic viscosity as a function of polymer size.
