What is crosslink?

Crosslinking is the process of chemically linking two or more molecules together to form a more complex structure. This can improve the mechanical strength, thermal stability, and chemical resistance of materials. Crosslinking can occur through various processes, such as irradiation, heat, or chemical reactions. It is used in a wide variety of applications, including polymer manufacturing, coatings and adhesives, biomedical devices, and electrical insulation. Crosslinking can also be used in the modification of natural fibers and as a method of sterilization in medical devices.
