    Step-growth polymerization involves the reaction of bifunctional or multifunctional monomers that react at their functional groups to form long chains or networks. As the polymerization reaction proceeds and more chains form connections between each other through their functional end groups, a gel will start to form when the molecular weight reaches a critical point. The gel represents an insoluble three-dimensional network that spans the entire reaction mixture from the combination of long polymer chains crosslinking together.
