Crud Chemicals is producing a casting resin that can be made using either (i) AA and BB monomers or (ii) an AB-type monomer {A & B represent different functional groups, like alcohol and carboxylic acids). A catalyst is added to promote polymerization in the mold. The material has many useful properties, but is deficient in heat and solvent resistance. A proposal is made to improve heat and solvent resistance by adding a tetrafunctional monomer (A4) to the mix to provide crosslinks. Unfortunately, no one in-house knows if this will work, or if the added A4 will form a gel, so they call you in as a consultant. Evaluate their idea to use A4 as a crosslinking agent for both types of polymerizations (i and ii).
