Notes:
A Monte Carlo simulation of the network formation of polyethylene radicals has been carried out using the reaction modelling scheme and a graph exploration algorithm based on the breadth-first search technique. The results are obtained in a three dimensional cubic continuum space simulation with periodic boundary conditions. Results for three different polyethylene concentrations are reported. The structural evolution of the studied system was followed in terms of: number of reactions, molecular mass, aggregate dimension and fractal dimension analysis.
