In the field of material science frequently polymeric substances with an high cross link degree are called networks. This is due to the fact that polymer molecules resemble chains of many replicas basic polymer component (the monomer).

Cross links generates bonds either between different points of the same chain or between different chains so structuring the material microscopic arrangement like a sort of network.

The most famous process of this kind is rubber vulcanization. This creates many cross links based on a bridge made by three sulphur atoms and transforms completely the properties of natural rubber generating a sturdy, elastic and durable material.
