ristisidoksisia
Ristisidoksisia, scientifically known as cross-linking, is a process where individual polymer chains are connected to form a three-dimensional network. This network structure significantly alters the material's properties, typically enhancing its strength, rigidity, and thermal stability. In many polymers, this cross-linking process occurs through chemical reactions, often involving the addition of specific agents called cross-linking agents or initiators. Heat or radiation can also be used to induce cross-linking.
The degree of cross-linking is a critical factor influencing the material's final characteristics. A low degree
