abstract = {Rheological approaches based on micro- or nanoscopic probe
objects are of interest due to the low volume requirement,
the option of spatially resolved probing, and the
minimal-invasive nature often connected to such probes. For
the study of microstructured systems or biological
environments, such methods show potential for investigating
the local, size-dependent diffusivity and particle–matrix
interactions. For the latter, the relative length scale of
the used probes compared to the size of the structural units
of the matrix becomes relevant. In this study, a
rotational-dynamic approach based on Magnetic Particle
Nanorheology (MPN) is used to extract size- and
frequency-dependent nanorheological properties by using an
otherwise well-established polymer model system. We use
magnetically blocked CoFe2O4 nanoparticles as tracers and
systematically vary their hydrodynamic size by coating them
with a silica shell. On the polymer side, we employ aqueous
solutions of poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) by varying molar
mass M and volume fraction ϕ. The complex Brownian
relaxation behavior of the tracer particles in solutions of
systematically varied composition is investigated by means
of AC susceptometry (ACS), and the results provide access to
frequency dependent rheological properties. The
size-dependent particle diffusivity is evaluated based on
theoretical descriptions and macroscopic measurements. The
results allow the classification of the investigated
compositions into three regimes, taking into account the
probe particle size and the length scales of the polymer
solution. While a fuzzy cross-over is indicated between the
well-known macroscopic behavior and structurally dominated
spectra, where the hydrodynamic radius is equal to the
radius of gyration of the polymer (rh ∼ Rg), the
frequency-related scaling behavior is dominated by the
correlation length ξ respectively by the tube diameter a in
entangled solutions for rh < Rg.},
