Reference: crosslinking - or curing agent - hardeners Reference information: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crosslinking: A cross-link is a bond that links one polymer chain to another. They can be covalent bonds or ionic bonds. "Polymer chains" can refer to synthetic polymers or natural polymers (such as proteins). When the term "cross-linking" is used in the synthetic polymer science field, it usually refers to the use of cross-links to promote a difference in the polymers' physical properties. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curing_agent Curing is a term in polymer chemistry and process engineering that refers to the toughening or hardening of a polymer material by cross-linking of polymer chains, brought about by chemical additives, ultraviolet radiation, electron beam or heat. In rubber, the curing process is also called vulcanization. It looks like crosslinking agent/crosslinker is most general and preferably to use. In my opinion, of course. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2013-11-30 18:30:50 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- http://dict.leo.org/englisch-deutsch/Vernetzer.html Example sentence(s):
