Random graph theory of gelation (original) (raw)

Property Value
dbo:abstract Random graph theory of gelation is a mathematical theory for sol–gel processes. The theory is a collection of results that generalise the Flory–Stockmayer theory, and allow identification of the gel point, gel fraction, size distribution of polymers, molar mass distribution and other characteristics for a set of many polymerising monomers carrying arbitrary numbers and types of reactive functional groups. The theory builds upon the notion of the random graph, introduced by mathematicians Paul Erdős and Alfréd Rényi, and independently by Edgar Gilbert in late 1950's, as well as on the generalisation of this concept known as the random graph with a fixed degree sequence. The theory has been originally developed to explain step-growth polymerisation, and adaptations to other types of polymerisation now exist. Along with providing theoretical results the theory is also constructive. It indicates that the graph-like structures resulting from polymerisation can be sampled with an algorithm using the configuration model, which makes these structures available for further examination with computer experiments.
