Abstract

A simple recursive method is presented which can be used to derive the probability of a finite or dangling chain in a polymer network. Finite chain probabilities are derived for a variety of networks as a function of type and extent of reaction. From these probabilities useful properties such as sol fraction, cross-link density, and the number of elastically effective network chains can be readily developed.
