Abstract
An extension of the normal Gibbs formulation of statistical mechanics is applied to gels with permenent cross-links. The formalism permits an evaluation of the free energy in the case where the gel is dense, taking full account of excluded volume. This theory yields the changes in osmotic pressure upon cross-linkage and allows fully for syneresis; it enables the full elasticity of the network to be calculated, including the bulk modulus. Corrections to the simple addition of the free energy terms from network and solution theories are obtained, and for the case of a network in equilibrium with pure solvent a particularly simple formula is found.
