Chemically speaking, how can you raise the HDT of a polymer? (i.e. additives, processing, etc.)

What will be an ideal response?


To increase the HDT value of the material, increase the crystallinity of the material by making it more dense in structure through added hydrogen bonding. Another way to increase the HDT value would be to make the molecular weight of the material greater through cross-linking.
