    In elastomer: Free-radical interlinking

    Interlinking can be carried out with reagents other than sulfur—for example, by free-radical reactions that do not require the presence of C=C bonds. Free radicals are formed by irradiation with ultraviolet light, by electron-beam or nuclear radiation, or by the decomposition of unstable…
