has been used to derive the equation for the critical condition of gel formation of the reaction between ∑Aai and ∑Bb1 kinds of molecules. The new equation
expressed with number-average functionality or number fraction of molecules
instead of weight-average functionality or number fraction of functional groups
is more agreeable to Flory's experimental results. Based upon the theroretical analysis
the chemical reaction is molecular reaction. Therefore
it is more reasonable to use molecules as circle unit than to use functional groups as circle unit.
