Cyclic Bonds in Branched Polymers

Soft Condensed Matter 2015-09-17 v4

Abstract

In the gelation theory it has been implicitly assumed that (I) a cyclic bond is a finite bond that returns to itself; (II) cyclic bonds distribute at random in network structures. In this paper these two assumptions are reexamined from a new point of view. The physical soundness of the assumptions is assessed through comparison with experimental observations.
