Abstract
An empirical model has been proposed to describe the kinetic aspect of the gelation process of a concentrated latex mixture in the presence of nonadsorbing polymer chains. It was found to allow the identification of two predominant effects, a viscosity effect and an excluded volume one effect that balance during gelation, and to predict the polymer volume fraction for which the transition between these two predominant effects occurs in the dilute polymer concentration range.
