Summary on Grant Application Form |
|
The improvement of rate theory, cascade theory and Monte Carlo simulations of network- forming polymerisations to provide accurate predictions of gel points, sol fractions and network structures and properties. The numerical work would be undertaken using workstations within the Manchester Materials Science Centre and supercomputer facilities at the Manchester Computing Centre (MCC). The predictions of the theoretical approaches would be compared and their abilities to model experimental data investigated. To assist understanding of the formation of molecular connectivities within networks, graphics display and animation techniques would be developed in conjunction with the Graphics Unit of the MCC and Manchester University TV.
