Crosslinking in a sentence

Because no chemical crosslinking is involved, the film can re-dissolve in solvent; as such, lacquers are unsuitable for applications where chemical resistance is important.

Crosslinking Guar Guar molecules have a tendency to aggregate during the hydraulic fracturing process, mainly due to intermolecular hydrogen bonding.

Crosslinking of guar with borate occurs at high pH (approximately 9 10) of the solution.

Cysteine residues play a valuable role by crosslinking proteins, which increases the rigidity of proteins and also functions to confer proteolytic resistance (since protein export is a costly process, minimizing its necessity is advantageous).

Even with natural rubber, large amounts of sulfur, as well as high temperatures and long heating periods are necessary and one obtains an unsatisfactory crosslinking efficiency with unsatisfactory strength and aging properties.

However, the lens also becomes more rigid with age, losing most of its accommodation — the ability to change shape to focus from far to near — a detriment due probably to protein crosslinking caused by UV exposure.

If solvent is present in significant amounts, generally it is mostly evaporated first and then crosslinking is initiated by ultraviolet light.

In general, tensile strength increases with polymer chain length and crosslinking of polymer chains.

Insulin is an example of a protein with cystine crosslinking, wherein two separate peptide chains are connected by a pair of disulfide bonds.

It is the crosslinking within the fluid that gives a gel its structure (hardness) and contributes to the adhesive stick ( tack ).

It reacts with the amines of the proteins, causing crosslinking by formation of urea -like linkages, in accord with the reactions discussed above.

Lalwani et al. have reported a novel radical initiated thermal crosslinking method to fabricated macroscopic, free-standing, porous, all-carbon scaffolds using single- and multi-walled carbon nanotubes as building blocks.

Several metal additives have been used for crosslinking, among them are chromium, aluminum, antimony, zirconium, and the more commonly used, boron.

Some may cause DNA crosslinking and breakages.

The crosslinking of guar with metal ions results in a gel that does not block the formation and helps efficiently in formation cleaning process.

The crosslinking present in polyurethanes means that the polymer consists of a three-dimensional network and molecular weight is very high.

Viscosifiers, such as polymers and crosslinking agents, temperature stabilizers, pH control agents, and fluid loss control materials are among the additives that assist fracture creation.
