RADIATION-INDUCED GRAFT-POLYMERIZATION STUDIES
Technical Report

OSTI ID:4840497
The preparation and irradiation of a number of acrylate and methacrylate polymers are described. The investigation of the mechanism of radiation attack on the polymers was continued. The chief tools of the investigation were free- radical measurements and the quantitative determination of the volatile products of irradiation. Several graft polymerization studies were initiated using conditions suggested by the data. The results indicate that Polymer molecular weight appreciably affects free-radical formation, the constituents on the carbon atom located alpha with respect to the ester group as well as the size and configuration of the hydrocarbon tall of the ester group influence free-radical formation, a major portion of total free-radical formation is accomplished by means of a whole or partial ester scission, and free-radical formation is accompanied, in most cases, by a scission on the polymer backbone.
