Abstract
It is shown that cross links of infinite functionality in equilibrium with a solution of bifunctional monomer behave as particles interacting with a Debye—Hückel type of potential. Applying the Debye—Hückel theory to a fluid consisting of such particles leads to a condensation phenomenon which corresponds to gel formation.
