IRRADIATION FACTOR-DEPENDENCY. SOME VINYL MONOMERS. IRRADIATION CYCLE

Abstract

From the results presented for the irradiationinduced polymerization of the nine monomer systems studied in this series, the following conclusions were reached: (1) something more than a 3-min cycle at 75 C (45-min cycle used as a convenient one in these studies) is the most efficient one for the irradiation-induced polymerization of the systems studied; (2) the efficiency of polymerization on a given time cycle decreases markedly for the higher dose rates used in this study; (3) the relative efficiency of polymerization on a time cycle compared with continuous irradiation appears to decrease with an increase in dose rate; (4) the reaction rate formulations for these systems, derived under vastly different experimental conditions, are not applicable to the parameters used in this study; and (5) the most desirable time cycle and temperature depend on the nature of the monomer system.
