RADIATION POLYMERIZATION OF METHYL METHACRYLATE

Journal Article · · Nuclear Energy
OSTI ID:4012205
A pilot plant is described for producing methyl methacrylate polymer. The monomer is irradiated by a 5 kc Co/sup 6//sup 0/ source for prepolymerization, and placed in an oven for completion of the polymerization. Data are given for conversion of monomer to polymer (in wt.%) and for average molecular weights as functions of irradiation doses at --18 to +70 deg C. The efficiencies of gamma irradiation in polymerization of various monomers are compared. (T.F.H.)
