Elastomer crosslinking (vulcanization) involves tying together loosely held molecular chains into a three-dimensional network structure of polymeric chains capable of supporting a sustained load (stress) or withstanding a constant deformation (strain).
In previous papers, we proved that the heat stability of PLA-based materials can be significantly improved by radiation-induced crosslinking in the presence of triallyl isocyanurate (TAIC) (10), (16-18).
Ease of use and accuracy make the Spectrolinker ideal for many applications including the elimination of polymerase chain reaction contamination, crosslinking of DNA and RNA, nicking ethidiumbromide-stained DNA, gene mapping, RecA mutation screening and testing, UV sterilization, W-induced polymerization, UV intensity monitoring and various other W-dosage applications, according to the company.
