Glossary Cross-Linking

chemical bonds form between polymer chains, enhancing material properties

Cross-linking refers to the process where chemical bonds are formed between different polymer chains, creating a network-like structure. This can increase the strength, stability, and rigidity of materials. In biological contexts, cross-linking can affect the properties of proteins and other macromolecules, influencing their function and interactions.
