Cross-links are formed by chemical reactions that are initiated by heat and/or pressure, or by the mixing of an unpolymerized or partially polymerized resin with various chemicals; cross-linking can be induced in materials that are normally thermoplastic through exposure to radiation.
Cross-links are formed by chemical reactions that are initiated by heat and/or pressure, or by the mixing of an unpolymerized or partially polymerized resin with specific chemicals called crosslinking reagents. Cross-linking can be induced in materials that are normally thermoplastic through exposure to radiation.
