What is cross-link
A cross-link is a bond that links one polymer chain to another
What is an example of cross-link?

(ENDOTHERMIC+EXOTHERMIC) Be able to explain how energy plays a role during either an exothermic or endothermic reaction.
If a reaction is endothermic, it takes more energy to break the bonds of the reactants than is released when the bonds of the products are formed.
