verkostoitumisreaktiot
Verkostoitumisreaktiot, also known as networking reactions, are a class of chemical reactions where individual molecular units link together to form larger, interconnected networks. These reactions are fundamental in the synthesis of polymers and supramolecular structures. The process typically involves the formation of covalent bonds between monomers or pre-formed building blocks, leading to a three-dimensional or extended one-dimensional structure.
The specific outcome of a verkostoitumisreaktio depends on the functionality of the reacting species. For example,
Common examples of verkostoitumisreaktiot include polymerization reactions like polycondensation and addition polymerization, where monomers repeatedly react
These reactions are essential in materials science and engineering, enabling the creation of a wide range of
