abstract = {It is well-known that the transition between unentangled to
entangled dynamics occurs at a critical molecular weight
(Mc), typically assumed to be twice the entanglement
molecular weight (Me). Recently, we have reiterated a
previous finding that the ratio between Mc and Me doesn't
assume a universal value of 2 for all polymer melts but in
fact shows a dependence on the packing length (p). Not
withstanding, the physical picture behind the independent
existence of Me and Mc remains unclear.Here, we
reinvestigate the problem by probing the microscopic
dynamics of polybutadiene melts near the transition by
neutron spin echo spectroscopy. We analyze the dynamic
structure factor within the framework of the Rouse model
with modified mode spectrum. We find that suppression of
long-wavelength modes in the spectra already occurs for
melts with molecular weight above Me, even if they are still
below Mc. We rationalize these results based on earlier
ideas on entanglement formation. We also apply this
framework in confronting our viscosity data for various
polymers.},
