Malyar Several theories and methods defining and modeling the formation of polymer networks exist [1-3]. The most useful of such theories, purely from an applied everyday use, are often the simpler and older ones [4,5]. More complex theories, although often excellent at describing to a much greater and thorough extent the molecular reality of gelation, suffer also from being rather difficult to use and unyielding for everyday practice. Thus, they often remain rather unapprochable to those who could benefit most from their application for the easy resolution of applied problems.
Many such theories concentrate on the determination, by different mathematical approaches and different physicochemical approximations, of the degree of conversion and hence of the advancement of polymerization at the point of gel formation and on the calculation of basic polymer parameters derived from the determination of the gel point. Two main approaches are used: statistical methods and kinetic methods. Combinations of the two have also been presented [1].
