crosslink

Cross-links are covalent bonds linking one polymer chain to another. They are the characteristic property of thermosetting polymer materials. In biology, cross-linking has applications in forming polyacrylamide gels for gel electrophoresis and in protein studies. Crosslinking inhibits close packing of the polymer chains, preventing the formation of crystalline regions. The restricted molecular mobility of a crosslinked structure limits the extension of the polymer material under loading.
