Behavior Of The Free Radicals Trapped In Gamma-Irradiated Compounds Which Contain Hydrogen Bonds
Journal Article
·
· Journal of Chemical Physics (U.S.)
A series of experiments was performed which suggest that the nonreactivity of gaseous scavengers with free radicals in certain irradiated compounds is not due to inherent free radical stability but to a network of intermolecular hydrogen bonds which prevents penetration by gases. These experiments, performed on polyvinyl alcohol, cellulose, starch, arabinose, ribose, xylose, glucose, fructose, sorbose, galactose, sucrose, cellobiose, lactose, inulin, and glutamic acid demonstrated that free radicals in these compounds, although inert to gaseous scavengers, decay rapidly near the melting point or in the presence of water and react with monomers in presence of water.
