A drastic suppression of the chain post polymerization process in the quenched high-pressure phase of an acrylamide-water eutectic mixture was observed upon warming of the samples irradiated with {gamma}-rays at 77 K. This effect is explained by dispersion of the samples in the temperature region of the transition of the quenched high-pressure phase into the equilibrium phase ({approximately}150K). The size of the resulting microcrystals of monomer was estimated to be approximately 0.1 {mu}m.
