The development of three-dimensional structure in an adhesive which is activated normally by heat. An improvement in shear resistance, high temperature resistance and oil or solvent will normally result.
A three-dimensional chemical bridge formed between molecular chains which is activated normally by heat. An improvement in shear resistance, high temperature resistance and oil or solvent resistance will normally result.
A type of acrylic adhesive in which the polymers have formed a three dimensional structure within the adhesive mass. Adhesives of this type have higher performance characteristics.
