RADIATION-INDUCED CROSSLINKING OF POLYPOTASSIUM ACRYLATE

Journal Article · · J. Polymer Sci.
The effects of radiation on potassium acrylate and polypotassium acrylate and their aqueous solutions were studied. In the presence of air and at high and low water concentrations, degradation is the predominant radioinduced reaction. Crosslinking occurs at intermediate concentrations. The degree of crosslinking for a given dose reaches a maximum at a polymer concentration of about 60%. An explanation of these results is presented. (auth)
