You want to measure the cross-linking rate of a polymer
What is cross-linking?
The process of cross-linking is the assembly of polymer chains by chemical bonding. The cross-linking process creates a molecular weight network and modifies the physico-chemical properties of the initial polymer.
The cross-linking process can be natural or triggered (or accelerated) by an external action such as a rise in temperature.
Why measure the cross-linking rate of a polymer?
Measuring the cross-linking rate of a polymer is crucial for optimising its mechanical properties (strength, elasticity), durability and thermal performance. This enables permeability to be controlled, manufacturing processes to be adjusted and compliance with industry standards to be guaranteed. This measurement is essential for adapting polymers to specific application requirements, while ensuring consistent, optimum quality.
As a manufacturer, you may want to measure or optimise the cross-linking rate of your polymer products as part of research and development projects for new materials. A specialised laboratory with state-of-the-art analytical equipment is essential to study and understand these phenomena, as well as to improve your cross-linking processes.
