The second paper was accepted, and has been published in Polymers. A Third Paper went out the door to Studies in Philosophy and History of Science. A fourth paper is fairly close to being submitted, except that on due consideration I have to redo all of the figures to make them easier to read. I did something standard, and something slightly different will make matters much clearer. Polishing the writing of that paper and tuning ca. 100 figures is my current project.

At that point I see several choices of a next technical paper. One is a repeat of past analyses on Rouse modes and mean-square displacements, except applied to blends. Another is a paper whose working title is “The deGennes-Doi-Edwards Model of Polymer Dynamics is Wrong at All Points”. For a third, a problem I have been trying to solve for 40 years, and think I finally see how, assuming that the approach is correct, which I do not yet know, namely extending the hydrodynamic scaling model to the time domain to calculate detailed time dynamics of polymer motions.
