This new book presents the latest research results on cross-linked polymers from internationally recognized scientists. You'll learn why cross-linked polymers are superior in applications requiring resistance to high temperatures and high mechanical performance. You'll cover current topics in network theory, along with an explanation of the relationship between molecular architecture and macroscopic physical properties. Read about all the main points of cross-linked
polymer systems including network modelling and structure, network formation and degradation, and network characterization.
