24. Not shown are the error bars associated with each experimental data point: ∼ 1 fN in the harmonic regime, and ∼ 10 fN outside of it [Bo Wang (private communication)].
25. These orientation effects are potentially relevant to prior simulations of nematic solutions of finite thickness hard rods [see, e.g., H. Löwen, Phys. Rev. E PLEEE8 1063-651X 59, 1989 (1999)]. However, direct comparison is fraught with ambiguity since for rods with nonzero excluded volume the density, nematic order parameter, and aspect ratio (often rather low) are not independent. Moreover, the parallel and perpendicular diffusion constants in the polymer (not laboratory) reference frame have typically not been determined. 10.1103/PhysRevE.59.1989
