Regarding cross-linked or network polymers, which of the following statements are correct? — Polymers Chemistry Question

💡 Solution & Explanation

Network polymers have strong covalent bonds linking chains (cross-links), are made from bi- or tri-functional monomers, and include bakelite/melamine. Because of their 3D network, they are thermosetting and do NOT soften reversibly upon heating; they become infusible.
