Abstract

The dynamical response of entangled polymers can be understood in the framework of the tube theory. In this paper, the dynamics of linear entangled polymers that reptate under the additional action of drift along the primitive path, are explored. A modified reptation model with drift, valid for small drift values, is presented and solved analytically, as well as by means of Brownian dynamics simulations. When the drift mechanism dominates over diffusion, the transport properties of these active entangled chains change dramatically with respect to the pure reptation case: the viscosity grows linearly with the molecular weight whereas the self-diffusion coefficient becomes independent of the molecular weight. Some open questions regarding possible ways to generate a drift such as the one described are discussed briefly.

Impact and social visibility

From the perspective of influence or social adoption, and based on metrics associated with mentions and interactions provided by agencies specializing in calculating the so-called "Alternative or Social Metrics," we can highlight as of 2026-04-27:

  • The use, from an academic perspective evidenced by the Altmetric agency indicator referring to aggregations made by the personal bibliographic manager Mendeley, gives us a total of: 20.
  • The use of this contribution in bookmarks, code forks, additions to favorite lists for recurrent reading, as well as general views, indicates that someone is using the publication as a basis for their current work. This may be a notable indicator of future more formal and academic citations. This claim is supported by the result of the "Capture" indicator, which yields a total of: 20 (PlumX).

With a more dissemination-oriented intent and targeting more general audiences, we can observe other more global scores such as:

  • The Total Score from Altmetric: 1.
  • The number of mentions on the social network X (formerly Twitter): 1 (Altmetric).

It is essential to present evidence supporting full alignment with institutional principles and guidelines on Open Science and the Conservation and Dissemination of Intellectual Heritage. A clear example of this is:
