Abstract
Modeling results indicate that a moderate increase in coarseness of th
e initial dispersion of the polymer in solution leads to a faster coag
ulation rate and to the formation of a more uniform structure. Such an
increase in coarseness can be obtained either by bringing the polymer
solution close to the solubility limit or by increasing the stiffness
of the polymer chains. (C) 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
