Abstract
A phantom network of Gaussian chains far from the point of gelation can be described as a gas of interacting particles represented by the cross-links. The type of particles varies with the network functionality, whereas the type of interaction depends on the properties of the connecting chains. In a mean field approximation the equation of state can be calculated using Mayer's cluster expansion. The resulting isothermal compressibility is compared for different cross-link functionalities.
