✦ Synopsis

A Monte Carlo simulation of the network formation of polyethylene radicals has been carried out using the reaction modelling scheme and a graph exploration algorithm based on the breadth-first search technique. The results are obtained in a three dimensional cubic continuum space simulation with periodic boundary conditions. Results for three different polyethylene concentrations are reported. The structural evolution of the studied system was followed in terms of: number of reactions, molecular mass, aggregate dimension and fractal dimension analysis.

## Abstract The study of network formation during the curing of an epoxy‐resin with anhydride and tertiary amine has been carried out by the Monte Carlo method. Both dynamical and structural properties are studied. The model resembles the well known cluster‐cluster aggregation: the reaction is mode
