ocrosslinked
Ocrosslinked is not a widely established term in polymer science or materials engineering. In most scholarly and technical contexts, the word most commonly used is crosslinked, referring to polymer networks in which chains are connected by covalent, ionic, or physical bonds. The form “ocrosslinked” may represent a typographical error, a misspelling of crosslinked, or it could be a brand name, product line, or proprietary term not broadly adopted in literature. Because there is no standard definition for ocrosslinked, this article describes crosslinking in general to provide context.
Crosslinking is the process of forming bonds between polymer chains to create a three-dimensional network. This
Common methods include chemical crosslinking, where bifunctional or multifunctional agents link chains (for example, glutaraldehyde, diepoxides,
Applications span hydrogels for biomedical use, coatings, adhesives, elastomeric seals, and durable thermoset polymers. If ocrosslinked
