Abstract
We have investigated the viscosity and the plateau modulus of actin solutions
with a magnetically driven rotating disc rheometer. For entangled solutions we
observed a scaling of the plateau modulus versus concentration with a power of
7/5. The measured terminal relaxation time increases with a power 3/2 as a
function of polymer length. We interpret the entanglement transition and the
scaling of the plateau modulus in terms of the tube model for semiflexible
polymers.
