Structural-dynamical model dielectric response

Such numerical simulations have played an important role in the development of our understanding of solvation dynamics. For example, they have provided the first indication that simple dielectric continuum models based on Debye and Debey-like dielectric relaxation theories are inadequate on the fast timescales that are experimentally accessible today. It is important to keep in mind that this failure of simple theories is not a failure of linear response theory. Once revised to describe reliably response on short time and length scales, e.g. by using the full k and (O dependent dielectric response function e(k,o , and sufficiently taking into account the solvent structure about the solute, linear response theory accounts for most observations of solvation dynamics in simple polar solvents. 

Entanglements of flexible polymer chains contribute to non-linear viscoelastic response. Motions hindered by entanglements are a contributor to dielectric and diffusion properties since they constrain chain dynamics. Macromolecular dynamics are theoretically described by the reptation model. Reptation includes fluctuations in chain contour length, entanglement release, tube dilation, and retraction of side chains as the molecules translate using segmental motions, through a theoretical tube. The reptation model shows favourable comparison with experimental data from viscoelastic and dielectric measurements. The model reveals much about chain dynamics, relaxation times and molecular structures of individual macromolecules.
