It is this chemical cross-linking that is the principal difference between thermoset and thermoplastic systems.
As can be seen by the diagram below, when thermosets are cured or hardened, cross-links are formed between adjacent molecules, resulting in a complex, interconnected network.
If excessive heat is added to the thermoset elastomer after the cross-linking is complete, the polymer is degraded rather than melted.
