The more chaining that occurs,...
Dear all,
The more chaining that occurs, the denser, the less porous the polymer becomes.
I find this "that" a little difficult to understand. Is there a grammatical term for this "that"?
Is it at all possible to omit this "that"...?
I am looking forward to your comments. Many thanks in advance

That is a relative pronoun, introducing the clause - "that occurs". Its antecedent is the noun "chaining."

Hi AlpheccaStars, thank you so much for your help. I see...!
I understand now, thanks to you. This "that" is a relative pronoun, and you cannot omit this one (because this is a subject of the relative clause, I guess..).
I would like to ask one additional question, just to make sure. How about the following sentence? Does it sound okay?

Hi again, AlpheccaStars -- beautiful name, BTW!
Thank you for your reply. I appreciate your advice, too.
When I have to write some English sentences, I want to make them clear, natural, and ... crisp, as much as possible. I need to use all the help I could get here, really.
