A dynamic analysis is conducted which takes the transient behaviors of the adsorption of particles to a polymer molecule and the particle-particle interactions into account. We show that the number of particles adsorbed to a polymer molecule follows approximately a binomial distribution. An approximate expression for the degree of flocculation of the system under consideration is presented.Bridging flocculationDegree of flocculationPolymer adsorptionVery high molecular weight polymersjournal article10.1007/BF006634502-s2.0-5744253970https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-5744253970&doi=10.1007%2fBF00663450&partnerID=40&md5=b27a2265bc6200d72ff8cacf1a0b02b6
