The Flory-Stockmayer theory is a theoretical framework used to describe the behavior of polymer networks, specifically the gelation and cross-linking processes in polymeric materials. This theory was developed by Paul J. Flory and William R. Stockmayer in the 1940s and provides insights into the conditions under which a liquid polymer solution transitions to a gel or polymer network structure.
