A semi-quantitative analysis is given of the length dependence of the rate constant for association (annealing) of two long linear aggregates in solution. The equilibrium constant for this process, or its inverse (fragmentation or dissociation), is relatively easy to formulate from appropriate partition functions. From these two ingredients, the length dependence of the rate constant for spontaneous fragmentation can be deduced. Numerical examples are included.
对溶液中两个长线性聚集体缔合(退火)速率常数的长度依赖性进行了半定量分析。该过程的平衡常数,或其倒数(断裂或解离),通过适当的配分函数相对容易推导得出。基于这两个要素,可以推导出自发断裂速率常数的长度依赖性。文中包含了数值示例。
