Summary The majority of cross‐linked systems of practical importance are manufactured from pre‐prepared precursors which are characterized by distributions in the type and number of functional groups and molecular weights. For understanding of the effects of these distributions on network formation and properties and designing new systems, a theoretical insight is necessary that takes these distributions into account. The article lists some examples where the theoretical insight has helped optimize the cross‐linking process and application properties.
