20. ••The paper compares the Flory and Stockmayer models of reversible gelation. Unfortunately the authors have used a wrong expression for the free energy of the Flory model in the post-gel regime. Therefore, the phase diagrams obtained in the paper for the Flory model are, in our opinion, incorrect.

36. ••The paper presents a detailed analysis of the Rouse-Zimm dynamics of associative polymers below and above the gel point. It was shown that multiple dissociations and recombinations between the same pair of associative groups lead to the increase in the apparent activation energy and slow down the relaxation process.
