Neutrons
Neutrons comprise at least one half of the critical components of an average atom's nucleus. The neutrons help by providing the binding force "glue", which causes the mutually repulsive protons to stick or bind together, rather than attempting to break apart the nucleus.
Other than the fact that the neutrons are also massive and will be readily consumed by an active Black-Hole, there is no new or radically different behavior exclusively for the neutron which the C-R theory would predict. The C-R theory view of gravity, and it's root cause will describe the collective behavior of a large conglomeration of neutrons to be different.
In a conventional theory of gravity, the tremendous mass of a compacted neutron star might allow the density of the mass to increase to the point where the neutrons are no longer capable of resisting gravitational collapse. If this is the case, the already-compacted, crushingly dense neutrons will either collapse into an 'order-of-magnitude' denser "quark soup", or else, totally collapse into a singularity.
The C-R theory has no objection to neutrons collapsing into denser blobs, up to but not more massive than pure quarks. Whether this collapse event is needed or is even possible remains for future theorists to model (muddle) over.
The C-R theory will predict that all matter, however densely compacted, will fully resist collapse into a singularity. Please see Gravity: see Singularity: or see Collapse: for a expanded expoundment.
