Abstract
In this paper, we construct an effective model for the dynamics of an excluded-volume chain under confinement, by extending the formalism of Rouse modes. We make specific predictions about the behavior of the modes for a single polymer confined to a slit. The results are tested against Monte Carlo simulations using the bond-fluctuation algorithm which uses a lattice representation of the polymer chain with excluded-volume effects.
