Novel ionicliquids as accelerators for the sulfurvulcanization of butadiene–styrene elastomer composites... In this Article, the effect of the ionic liquids on the vulcanizationkinetics of the rubber compounds, the cross-link density, and themechanical properties of the vulcanizates, as well as their resistanceto thermal and UV aging, was studied....
Network formation in anorthogonally self-assemblingsystem...nanorod.In the latter case, a functional cross-link is formed by the bridgingchain that strengthens the polymer network....
Multivalency in healable supramolecular polymers:the effect of supramolecular cross-link density onthe mechanical properties and healing of noncovalentpolymer networks... Different degrees of supramolecular “cross-linking” were achieved by use of divalent or trivalent poly(ethylene glycol)-based polymers featuring pyrenyl end-groups, blended with a known diimide–ether copolymer....
A responsive hyperbranched polymer not only can self-immolatebut also can self-cross-linkThough many responsive polymers havebeen prepared, none of them can both self-immolate and self-cross-linkvia responding to the changes of the environment....
