Characterization of model networks containing both trifunctional and tetrafunctional junctions

  • Published:
Polymer Bulletin Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

Expressions for the number density of junctions μ and the cycle rank ξ of model networks having a mixture of trifunctional and tetrafunctional junctions are obtained by simple topological arguments. The results are consistent with those derived by making use of an average junction functionality.
