The Vulcanization Transition and the Amorphous Solid State It Yields: A Statistical Mechanical Perspective
The vulcanization transition is a crosslink-density-controlled equilibrium phase transition from the liquid to the amorphous solid state. In order to understand the origins and consequences of the universal aspects of this transition and the emergent solid state, we construct a minimal model in the …

Statistical mechanics of the amorphous solid state of randomly crosslinked macromolecules
"In 1839 Charles Goodyear discovered the vulcanization of rubber: by heating natural rubber (which is a liquid), together with sulfur, he obtained an elastic solid material. This liquid-solid transformation was later found to entail the random crosslinking of the linear macromolecules forming …
