A family of novel diazirine-based molecules is disclosed, as well as methods of manufacture and uses thereof. These compounds allow non-functionalized polymers, such as polyolefins, to crosslink via CH insertion. Such a CH insertion process is useful, for example, for the covalent adhesive bonding of low surface energy films or materials, or for creating rigid 3-dimenional polymeric structures by in-situ doping and activation of the crosslinker. The disclosed crosslinkers can be activated thermally, by UV radiation or by an electric potential.
