ELECTRON SPIN RESONANCE STUDIES OF POLYVINYL CHLORIDE IRRADIATED IN HN$sub 3$ GAS

Journal Article · · J. Appl. Polymer Sci.

The electron spin resonance of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) irradiated in NH/ sub 3/ was studied. The radicals produced on irradiation in NH/sub 3/ do not differ greatly from those obtained on irradiation in vacuum, but the reactivity of the former to SO/sub 2/ to forrn RSO/sub 2/ radicals is far higher than that of those obtained in vacuum. The radicals produced by irradiation at-78 deg C and in vacuum was also studied. The spectra ofthese radicals were different from those of the racdicals produced at 20 deg C and in vacuum. The reactivity of the radicals produced in PVC is interpreted on the basis of the length of double bonds eonjugating with thc radical pi electron. (auth)
