MONOMER REACTIVITIES IN RADIATION-INDUCED GRAFT COPOLYMERIZATION. PART II. GRAFT COPOLYMERIZATION TO TEFLON

Journal Article · · J. Polymer Sci.
Gamma radioinduced surface graft copolymeridations of styrene- acrylonitrile and styrene-methyl acrylate to Teflon were studied. It was observed that the compositions of the various grafted copolymers are richer in the more polar monomer than would be predicted from the Lewis-Mayo copolymer composition equation. These results were interpreted in terms of a preferential solvation of the relatively immobile growing graft polymer free radicals by the polar monomers. (auth)
