IMPROVEMENTS IN IRRADIATION OF POLYMERS

Patent ·
OSTI ID:4122342
Al method for radioinduced vulcanization of polyvinyl chloride polymers and copolymers is presented in which 1 to 4 parts sulfur is mixed with 100 parts vinyl chloride resin that may or may not be plasticized, and the mixture is irradiated to 10- to 40-watt-hr dose per pound. In this way, the polymers' tensile strength at high temperatures may be increased. Two examples of the method are given in which plasticized Marvinol polymers were irradiated with 2- Mev electrons.
