Another group of polymers, characterized by a high degree of cross-linking, resist deformation and solution once their final morphology is achieved. Because these polymers, once formed, cannot be reshaped by heating, they are called thermosets .Partial formulas for four of these will be shown below by clicking the appropriate button.

How those smaller units are arranged within the polymer is an issue we haven't addressed very closely yet. Topology is the study of three-dimensional shapes and relationships, or of how individual parts are arranged within a whole.
