Answer» Explanation: In chemistry and biology a cross-link is a bond that links ONE polymer chain to another. These links may take the form of COVALENT bonds or IONIC bonds and the polymers can be either synthetic polymers or natural polymers (such as proteins). 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 …). |
