https://doi.org/10.1351/goldbook.PT07506
Stage of a network-forming polymerization or crosslinking process extending up to, but not beyond, the gel point.
Note: The pre-gel regime may be expressed as the length of time or the chemical conversion required to reach the gel point from the start of a polymerization or crosslinking process.
