Crosslinking in nanotechnology can be achieved through various methods:
Chemical Crosslinking: Involves the use of crosslinking agents or chemicals that form covalent bonds between polymer chains. Physical Crosslinking: Utilizes physical interactions such as hydrogen bonds, ionic bonds, or van der Waals forces to create a network structure. Radiation Crosslinking: Exposure to high-energy radiation (e.g., UV or gamma rays) can induce crosslinking by generating free radicals.
