24. A comment regarding the role of flow on diffusion-controlled reactions in polymers was made some years ago by de Gennes (de Gennes, P. G. Radiation Physics Chemistry 1983, 22, 193), but this line of research was apparently never pursued.

35. -3/2 is predicated on d(t) being a Gaussian random variable. This is not strictly the case for the reptation model, so the overall numerical prefactors derived for the reptation model should be viewed with some skepticism. Nevertheless, the scaling behavior with the Deborah number is unaffected.
