The critical behavior of the gelation of polymers is studied as a kinetic process in which only surface interactions between polymers are assumed. It is found that gelation occurs when the exponent ω, which characterizes the effective surface area, is greater than {}, and that the exponent τ, which characterizes the size distribution at the gel point, is related to ω by τ=ω+3/2.
