How are cross-linked polymers different from linear polymers?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Polyethylene is called a linear or straight-chain polymer because it consists of a long string of carbon-carbon bonds. ... Cross-linked polymers contain branches that connect polymer chains, as shown in the figure below. At first, adding cross-links between polymer chains makes the polymer more elastic.

Answer 2

Explanation:

The key difference between cross linked polymer and linear polymer is that the monomer units of linear polymers have end-to-end links, resembling the beads in a necklace, whereas cross linked polymers are made up of chains that are joined together by a series of covalent bonds, called cross-links.
