The model addresses the competition between associates engaged in branching and cyclization. It results in relative concentrations of intra- and intermolecular associates dependent on associate strength and motif concentration. The gelation model is based on the statistical theory of branching processes,and in combination with the cyclization model, it predicts the critical concentration delimiting the regions of gelled and liquid states of the systém.
