Abstract
A renormalization-group theoretical result for the concentration dependence of the cooperative diffusion constant of semidilute polymer solutions is given. The result satisfactorily explains the recent experimental result by Wiltzius et al. This is the first application of the renormalization-group theory to semidilute-solution transport properties.Keywords
