Abstract
A system involving homopolymerisation of a 3-functional monomer has been st udied by using an off-lattice long-range percolation model. The elementary reaction steps were controlled by substitution effects and by local concent rations of units. The latter were controlled by setting a constant value to a range-of-reaction parameter called the capture radius. The critical conv ersion at gelation in the system turned to the classical one as the value o f capture radius increased.
