Reptation is a term used in the context of polymer physics and materials science to describe a process by which polymer chains move or "crawl" through a medium, typically by undergoing a series of localized motions that allow them to gradually change position. This movement is somewhat analogous to the way a snake slithers, hence the name "reptation.
