Abstract
Summary: The gelation behavior of an epoxy/anhydride system was studied using the differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) and a stress rheometer. It was found that the gelation was dependent on the curing temperature. At a higher curing temperature, the resin tended to gel at lower degree of cure (DOC). Monte Carlo (MC) simulation was performed, to investigate the effect of curing kinetics on the network formation and the gelation. Both the effects of the propagation rate and the catalyst concentration was studied. The temperature dependent gelation was related to the change of propagation/initiation ratio with temperature according to the simulation results.

Many axons follow waveβlike undulating courses. This is a general feature of extracranial nerve segments, but is also found in some intracranial nervous tissue. The importance of axonal undulation has previously been considered, for example, in the context of biomechanics, where it has been shown th
The effects of the reactivity of a crosslinking agent on the microphaseseparated structure of sequential interpenetrating polymer networks are analyzed with a Monte Carlo simulation technique. The simulation results showed that the maximum structure factor decreases with an increasing crosslinking r
The exchange kinetics of polymers adsorbing on a solid surface is extensively studied by dynamic Monte Carlo simulations. A model employed simulates a semidilute polymer solution placed in contact with a solid surface that attracts polymer segments by the adsorption interaction (v s ). The exchange
