Has an ester linkage 8 of 10 How does cross-linking increase the rigidity of a molecule? Crosslinks prevent molecules from moving past each other 9 of 10 addition polymerisation a type of reaction where monomers join together, end to end, to form long polymer chains. The polymer produced is called an addition polymer 10 of 10
