To have practical applications why are cross links required in rubber?

Options

  1. ACross links increase the solubility of rubber
  2. BCross links bind the planar polymer sheets thus increasing its elastomeric properties.
  3. CCross links reduce the strength of rubber
  4. DCross links decrease the elasticity of rubber

Correct answer

B. Cross links bind the planar polymer sheets thus increasing its elastomeric properties.

Step-by-step solution

Correct Option is : (B) Cross links bind the planar polymer sheets thus increasing its elastomeric properties.
