Science - Chemistry; Chem Sci/Eng / polymer properties
French term or phrase: réticuler
Talking about the different types of polymers. Here is the context.

Ce solide, si les molécules sont libres, va être déformable, on va pouvoir le dissoudre ou le transformer. C'est ce qu'on appelle le thermoplastique : les matériaux qui sont moulés par la chaleur et sous la pression. On peut facilement réticuler, les molécules sont liées, ce qui fait qu'on ne peut plus les dissoudre ni les fondre, c'est le thermo dur, c'est-à-dire les résines qui sont réticulées. Cela a une bien sûr une influence sur les process.
