Title: GRAFT POLYMERIZATION USING IONIZING RADIATION AS THE GRAFT POLYMERIZATION INITIATOR

Patent ·
OSTI ID:4837596

A method for graft polymerizing a monomer on a polymer by ionizing radiation is described which eliminates or suppresses homopolymerization of the monomer. In this method, the polymer-- monomer system is contacted with a polymerization inhibitor which inhibits the monomer but not the polymer. This selective action is achieved by using an inhibitor which is more soluble or disperses more readily in the monomer phase than in the polymer phase. (D.L.C.)
