CERTAIN linear polymers which have been used as picture varnishes are known to become cross-linked by the action of light. It is important to us to find out whether this is likely to happen for ...

The process of cross-linking refers to the use of electron beam irradiation to form bridges between polymer strands. By connecting polymer strands together, the properties of the material are enhanced ...

Thermosets or thermosetting plastics are polymer materials that have been irreversibly cured. They are generally stronger than thermoplastics due to the polymer cross-linking and are better suited for ...

The main focus of this paper is to showcase various microscopy techniques used in elucidating the mechanism of ZnO and ...

Another application of malonic acid is in the production of polyurethanes, where it acts as a cross-linking agent.
