On the Scaling Law for Af Type Free Radical Homopolymerization
-
Abstract
From the equilibrium number fraction distribution for Af type free radical homopolymerization, the asymptotic distribution and polymer moments near the gel point are deduced. As a direct result of scaling transformation, ageneralized scaling law which characterizes the sol-gel transition is obtained. This reveals that the curing of this type is in essence a phase transition process. -
