Si un polymère possède des fonctions actives dans la chaîne [...] ou en bout de chaîne, [...] il est possible de les faire réagir avec un agent polyfonctionnel pour obtenir un réseau. Cet agent est généralement appelé durcisseur ou agent de pontage et le polymère de départ est appelé prépolymère. L'opération s'appelle une réticulation (vulcanisation dans le cas de caoutchoucs). 4, record 1, French, - r%C3%A9ticulation
