Entropy Driven Phase Transition in Polymer Gels: Mean Field Theory

We present a mean field model of a gel consisting of P polymers, each of length L and N(z) polyfunctional monomers. Each polyfunctional monomer forms z covalent bonds with the 2P bifunctional monomers at the ends of the linear polymers. We find that the entropy dependence on the number of polyfuncti...
