Abstract
The complex sequence of the hydrolysis/polymerization reaction of certain types of alkoxysilanes is modelled using a novel approach based on the branching theory. Network formation is described, resulting from the reaction of multifunctional oligomers. Expressions are derived for the critical silane conversion at the gel point, the molecular weight, and changes in the sol and gel fractions as a function of time.
