For a crosslinked polymer with a uniform molecular weight distribution we derive expressions for the amount soluble after any amount of crosslink cleavage or chain scission. Two closed‐form results are obtained. One is an approximate form based on the formalism of Charlesby and is usable for most needs. The other, based on a degradation distribution from Montroll and Simha, is exact but rather more cumbersome. We compare numerical results from each approach.
