Abstract

We study the dynamics of sol-gel clusters. We find that the dynamic structure factor decays in time as a stretched exponential, and the viscoelastic modulus is an algebraic function of time. The difference beween screened and non-screened systems in the context of cluster dynamics is discussed.
