All the treatments are identical when no gel exists (k ≪ 1), approach the Flory approximation for rather dense gel (k ≫ 1) but result in different properties of the associating systems near the sol-gel transition (k ∼ 1). For further discussion, which goes far beyond the scope of this paper, we address the interested reader to refs 29, 31, 36, and 37.
