cross-link

the polymer chains began to cross-link, creating a stronger material.

excessive cross-linking can make the plastic brittle and less flexible.

we studied the effect of temperature on cross-link density in the rubber.

the cross-link reaction is crucial for the gel's formation.

the adhesive uses a unique cross-linking agent for superior bonding.

careful control of the cross-linking process is essential for quality.

the researchers investigated the formation of cross-links between proteins.

the cross-link density influenced the material's mechanical properties.

a higher degree of cross-linking resulted in increased chemical resistance.

the cross-link network provided excellent structural support.

we need to optimize the cross-linking conditions for this application.
