Force-Extension Relation and Plateau Modulus for Wormlike Chains.

We derive the linear force-extension relation for a wormlike chain of arbitrary stiffness including entropy elasticity, bending and thermodynamic buckling. From this we infer the plateau modulus $G^0$ of an isotropic entangled solution of wormlike chains. The entanglement length $L_e$ is expressed in terms of the characteristic network parameters for three different scaling regimes in the entangled phase. The entanglement transition and the concentration dependence of $G^0$ are analyzed. Finally we compare our findings with experimental data.
