Abstract

The experimental values of the exponents γ and τ which characterize the divergence of a mean average mass distribution of clusters at the gelation threshold and the mass distribution of clusters respectively, show that gelation and percolation belong to the same class of universality. The dynamical structure factor, measured on solution of such percolating clusters elaborated near and below the gelation threshold, exhibits relaxation behavior similar to those observed in disordered media near the glass transition.
