What Does Crosslinking Mean

The crosslinking degree, also known as the crosslinking index, is usually expressed by the crosslinking density or the number of average molecular weights between two adjacent crosslinking points or the number of moles per cubic centimeter of crosslinking points. degree of cross linking; cross linking index also known as cross linking index. To characterize the degree of crosslinking of polymer chains. It is usually expressed as the crosslinking density or the number between two adjacent crosslinking points the average molecular weight or the number of moles per cubic centimeter of crosslinking points. The degree of crosslinking can be measured by mechanical method or equilibrium swelling ratio method. The rubber with small cross-linking degree has better elasticity, and the rubber with large cross-linking degree has poor elasticity, and the mechanical strength and hardness will increase when the cross-linking degree increases, and eventually the elasticity will be lost. The density of crosslinking points, or the average molecular weight of the chain between two adjacent crosslinking points.
