Linked from

The 15 pages that link to Cross-link, each with the reason it gives.

• PolymerizationRelated: Multifunctional monomers can create cross-links instead of only linear chains.

• ThermoplasticRelated: Extensive permanent cross-linking prevents the repeated melt flow characteristic of thermoplastics.

• HydrogelRelated: Cross-links prevent dissolved chains from separating and help a swollen gel keep its shape.

• Nitrile rubberRelated: Cross-links help nitrile rubber retain shape and elasticity under use.

• Gel (colloid)Related: Cross-links hold many polymer gels together and limit chain motion.

• Pendant groupRelated: Reactive pendant groups can form cross-links between neighboring chains.

• Toxicodendron vernicifluumRelated: Cross-links help give cured urushi its hardness and chemical resistance.

• Macromolecular substancesRelated: Connections between chains can turn flowing materials into elastic or rigid networks.
