51. In a 1998 personal communication, Nobel laureate Pierre-Gilles de Gennes reflected on this problem in this way: "Polymerisation after quenching may be technically interesting, but is frightfully complex. You would get more fundamental insight by polymerising first, and then quenching, finding out (hopefully) the new quenching limit and the characteristic wavelength of the new spinodal. The difficulty in your case is to implement it (the Flory theory plus elastic terms) if you start from an inhomogeneous distribution, growing in inhomogeneous [italic added] crosslinking, etc."
