a chain-dimension length scale, set by chain volume per unit squared size, that correlates with entanglement molecular weight and plateau modulus across polymer melts.

In polymer physics, packing length refers to a chain-dimension length scale, set by chain volume per unit squared size, that correlates with entanglement molecular weight and plateau modulus across polymer melts. This meaning comes from Fetters (1994) in Macromolecules.[1]
