Polymer Networks From Nanosized Functional Precursors

摘要

The majority of cross-linked systems of practical importance are manufactured from pre-prepared precursors which are characterized by distribu- tions in the type and number of functional groups and molecular weights. For understanding of the effects of these distributions on network formation and properties and designing new systems, a theoretical insight is necessary that takes these distributions into account. The article lists some examples where the theoretical insight has helped optimize the cross-linking process and application properties.
