ENHANCEMENT OF RADIATION-INDUCED CROSS-LINKING OF POLYVINYL CHLORIDE
Solid solutions of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) in diallyl and triallyl esters exhibited properties associated with high-density crosslinking when irradiated. A preliminary kinetic analysis showed that a simple energy transfer mechanism is inadequate. The ability of allyl esters to increase crosslinking in PVC during irradiation is probably due to the short propagation chainlength and the accumulation of stabilized radicals. It is suggested that the allyl ester operates by secondary'' initiation (to distinguish from that of incident radiation.) (T.R.H.)
