On the sol fraction of Aa1 Bb1−Aa2 Bb2 copolymerisations

Abstract

By means of probability theory, the sol fraction of an Aa1 Bb1−Aa2 Bb2 type copolymerisation reaction, in which intramolecular reactions are neglected, is investigated in the post-gel regime to give the gelation condition explicitly. (Aa1 Bb1 is a monomer with a1 functional groups of type A and b1 functional groups of type B.)
