Ketjumaistuminen
Ketjumaistuminen, a Finnish term, describes the process of something becoming chain-like or linear in structure. This can occur in various scientific and technical contexts. In chemistry, it refers to the polymerization of monomers to form long chains, a fundamental process in the creation of plastics and other macromolecules. These chains can be linear, branched, or even cross-linked, influencing the material's properties.
In metallurgy, ketjumaistuminen can describe the formation of elongated grain structures during processing, such as rolling
