Prepolymer characteristics after full conversion

In all calculations the molar masses given in the top of Table I were used. First of all, the effects of variations in the concentration of trifunctional monomers were determined, as exemplified by the nine formulations of Table I and the resulting prepolymer characteristics after full conversion given in Table II. Formulations FIO to F40 result in branched prepolymers, which are cured in the third stage by difunctional monomers. On the other hand, formulations FOO to F04 result in the same linear prepolymer, which is subsequently cured with various mixtures of di- and trifunctional monomers. The number average functionalities of PI (and P2) and of the mixtures of E and F monomers are varied systematically between 2.0 and 2.4. Therefore, the only difference between formulations FjO and FOj is the stage in which the branching units are added.
