Stochastic Model of Randomly End-Linked Polymer Network Microregions
Stochastic Model of Randomly End-Linked Polymer Network Microregions
Polymerization and formation of crosslinked polymer networks are important processes in manufacturing, materials fabrication, and in the case of hydrated polymer networks, synthesis of biomedical materials, drug delivery, and tissue engineering. While considerable research has been devoted to the modeling of polymer networks to determine averaged, mean-field, global properties, there …
