Question

Regarding cross-linked or network polymers, which of the following statement is incorrect? (A) Examples are bakelite and melamine. (B) They are formed from bi- and tri-functional monomers. (C) They contain covalent bonds between various linear polymer chains. (D) They contain weak covalents bonds in their polymer chains.

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

Cross linked or network polymers are formed from bifunctional and tri-functional monomers and contain strong covalent bonds between various linear polymer chains, e.g. bakelite, melamine etc, Option D is not related to crosslinking, hence incorrect.
