Statistical Parameters for Hydrogen Bonding Networks: One Component

Based on the analysis of network structures formed by hydrogen bonds as the sol-gel phase transition takes place in a single component hydrogen bonding system, the theory of reversible gelation is applied to calculate some statistical parameters that determine many physical and chemical properties of the networks. Then the numerical simulation of the number of active chains and dangling chains, the number of effective cross-linkages, the number of active and dangling mers and the modulus as a function of conversion are undertaken.
