Summary on Grant Application Form
The formation of networks in 3D without movements will be extensively studied while the analysis programs to characterise movements are developed. These will be applied the typical systems to characterise their behaviour and then simulations will be performed of the formation of rings from difunctional monomers and the generation of networks when movements occur. The programs to perform the topological analysis will be developed and applied to the identification of catanations between rings and the study of entanglements in three dimensional networks.
