Gelation Paradox

Soft Condensed Matter 2015-04-28 v1

Abstract

The gelation paradox first raised by Stockmayer is re-examined by comparing the extent of reaction in sol phase and that in the interior of gel. It is shown that the Stockmayer limit, 2/f, for the extent of reaction is the lowest limit in gel phase, as well as being the highest limit for sol molecules.
