This paper reports the development of the statistics for pre dicting the ratio sensitivity of polymer chain length in cross-linked two- component polymer systems. Experimental evidence is presented to sup port the theoretical conclusion that the chain length obtained when poly merizing two tri-functional monomers is very insensitive to the ratio of component A to component B. These results have considerable practical implications for the possible growth of two-component coatings' use.
