Which property change occurs when polymers undergo crosslinking?

💡 Explanation

Increased glass transition happens because covalent crosslinking restricts molecular chain movement, therefore the polymer needs more energy to transition from glassy to rubbery state, rather than degrading or becoming soluble near solvents.
