ristiinsidottu
Ristiinsidottu is a Finnish term that translates to "cross-linked" or "interlaced" in English. It refers to a process where individual molecular chains, typically polymers, are chemically bonded to each other. This creates a three-dimensional network structure, significantly altering the material's properties compared to its uncrosslinked counterpart.
The cross-linking process can be achieved through various methods, including the use of specific chemical agents
Materials that have undergone ristiinsidottu exhibit enhanced mechanical strength, improved thermal stability, and increased resistance to
Common examples of ristiinsidottu materials include vulcanized rubber, used in tires and hoses, and certain types
