CROSSLINKED POLYMERIC COMPOSITIONS

Patent ·
OSTI ID:4114890

A method for the manufacture of infusible, cross-linked polymeric compositions is described wherein a blend of a polymer, which normally suffers radiation degradation, and a polymerizable compound containing at least two ethylenically unsaturated double bonds is exposed to an electron beam for a dose greater than 2 megarads. The blend may be irradiated both before and after its fabrication into a desired form. The polymer may be cellulose acetrte, polymethyl methacrylate, cellulose acetobutyrate, or polyisobutylene, and the polymerizable compound is a poly allyl ester such as diallyl sebacate, triallyl cyanurate, or triallyl citrate.
