IRRADIATION OF POLYMERIC MATERIALS
Patent
·
OSTI ID:4190624
Molecular weight reduction by irradiation of polymers is described. In an example, polyethylene of m.w. 54,000 was prepared and irradiated to 28,736,000 gamma to produce material of m.w. 10,000. The polymerization catalyst was prepared by heating AlEt/sub 2/Cl with TiCl/sub 4/ in heptane at 50 deg C for 15 min. Thus, it is possible to produce very pure low molecular weight materials such as lubricant additives, film-forming materials, and molded and extruded plastics of uniform quality on a continuous basis.
