FCC experiments were performed with various Bis contents. It was observed that transmitted photon intensity, I-tr decreased dramatically at a certain gelation time, which is attributed to the increase in scattered light intensity, I-sc during macrogel formation from interconnected microgels. Increase in I-sc was modeled using Rayleigh's equation where gelation time was found to be proportional to the volume of the microgels. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd.
