Fotokeresztkötés
Fotokeresztkötés, also known as photocrosslinking, is a process where molecules are linked together using light. This technique is widely employed in various scientific fields, particularly in chemistry, biology, and materials science. The core principle involves the use of light-sensitive molecules, often called photoinitiators or photosensitive groups, which, upon exposure to specific wavelengths of light, generate reactive species. These reactive species then initiate a chemical reaction that leads to the formation of covalent bonds between adjacent molecules or within a single large molecule.
The type of light used, the wavelength, and the duration of exposure are critical parameters that can
