Strontium-containing enamels with innproved acid resistance were prepared. The problem of excessive foamni of cerium-containing enamels during initial melting has been eliminated by the addition of Na/sub 2/SO/sub 4/ to these formu lations. Dosimetry for Ce/sup 144/ sources containing less than 1 mu c per square inch is presented. A dose-rate study for methacrylic acid-- styrene graft system on polypropylene shows good reproducibility, good processing behavior of the commoner system, and excellent dyeing characteriatics. An engineering design of a pilot-scale, grsft copolymerization, beta irradiator is in progress. (auth)
