Abstract
By means of polymer statistical theory, the sol fraction and the gelation condition of Af-Ag type nonlinear free radical polymerization are obtained by introducing the probabilities with respect to initiation and chain addition. With Lagrange expansion theorem, the equilibrium number fraction distribution of Af-Ag type is obtained, and its invariant property is proved. Moreover, the evaluation of average polymer quantities for post-gel regime is simplified by this invariant property.
