On a relation between percolation theory and the elasticity of gels

P.-G. de Gennes

We compare the macroscopic conductance Σ of a resistor network with a fraction p of conducting links, and the elastic modulus E of a gel obtained by polymerization of z-functional units (p being the fraction of reacted bonds).
