The formation of heterogeneous structure through intramolecular reaction is an important feature in the free radical crosslinking copolymerization of methyl methacrylate (MMA) and ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (EGDMA). Such structure formation affects not only the curing behavior but also the rheological changes of the resin. In this work, the effect of co-monomer composition on the reaction kinetics, rheological changes and microgel formation of MMA-EGDMA copolymerization was studied. A percolation model was adopted to simulate such monovinyl-divinyl reactions.
