Abstract
A theoretical approach to network formation by cyclotrimerization is p resented which allows a full description of all network characteristic s. Its application to trimerization of bisphenol-A dicyanate(a)) shows full agreement between theoretical predictions and experimental data. Cyanate analysis was accomplished by means of Fourier transform infra red spectroscopy and a photometric method. The experimental gel point (at conversion 50,4%) was in close agreement with theoretical predicti ons.
