(chemistry) A covalent bond (or series of bonds) between adjacent chains of a polymer
Vulcanization is an example of cross-linking. Schematic presentation of two "polymer chains" (blue and green) cross-linked after the vulcanization of natural rubber with sulfur (n = 0, 1, 2, 3, ...).
(chemistry) To join polymer chains together to form one single molecule. An object made from a crosslinked material contains only one supergiant molecule. Crosslinking may take place through covalent bonds or ionic bonds
The compound bis(triethoxysilylpropyl)tetrasulfide is a cross-linking agent: the siloxy groups link to silica and the polysulfide groups vulcanize with polyolefins.
