Cross-Linking–Effect on Physical Properties of Polymers
Abstract
Many of the polymers used in composite systems and in other applications are cross-linked or thermoset polymers. How do such cross-linked polymers differ in properties from the better-understood linear or thermoplastic polymers? This review paper attempts to answer this question. The paper is written from the practical viewpoint of the experimental scientist who is using cross-linked polymers but who is not an expert on the theory of cross-linking. In spite of their intractable nature once they have been formed, and the difficulty of fabricating highly cross-linked polymers, such materials have some outstanding properties that make them ideal for many applications. The properties include (1) excellent dimensional stability and low creep rates, (2) resistance to solvents, and (3) in many cases, high heat-distortion or softening temperatures.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
