POLYMERIZATION OF VINYL COMPOUNDS IN THE CRYSTALLINE STATE

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4130051

Gamma irradiation of crystalline vinyl monomers was carried out in evacuated tubes at --78 deg C. The crystals were warmed and conditions were limited so that the initial polymerization rate was less than 2% per hr. The solid-state polymerizability of acrylamide, propionamide and K/sup +/, Na/sup +/, and Li/sup +/ salts of acrylic and methacrylic acids was studied as a function of radiation dose and time.
