The Rouse model describes a polymer chain as a set of N coupled harmonic springs. The mathematical treatment of this model decomposes the global motion in a set of N-1 independent &quot;normal modes&quot;. The [[time-correlation function]] of each one of these modes decays as a single exponential, characterized by a &quot;Rouse relaxation time&quot;. The Rouse relaxation times are proportional to &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;N^2&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; (N is proportional to the chain length or the polymer molecular weight). The first Rouse mode represents the slowest internal motion of the chain. The p-th Rouse relaxation time is proportional to &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;1/p^2&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td class=&quot;diff-marker&quot; data-marker=&quot;+&quot;&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td style=&quot;color: #202122; font-size: 88%; border-style: solid; border-width: 1px 1px 1px 4px; border-radius: 0.33em; border-color: #a3d3ff; vertical-align: top; white-space: pre-wrap;&quot;&gt;&lt;div&gt;[[Coarse graining | coarse-grained model]] of N successive Gaussian segments.
