Radiation-Induced Grafting on Polyamides.
Abstract
Earlier work indicated that in the radiation-induced grafting of vinyl monomers on polymeric films, the plasticity of the film being grafted is determined by the Hildebrand solubility parameter of the grafting solution. In the grafting of styrene on nylon film, a sequence of irradiation runs was made at selected volume ratios of styrene/benzene/methanol, all grafting solutions having a constant solubility parameter value of 7.8. A similar sequence of runs grafted pentafluorostyrene on nylon film at constant solubility parameter. Styrene was grafted on polyethylene film in a sequence of four runs using styrene dissolved in methanol, ethanol, 1-propanol, and 1-butanol, each solution having the same solubility parameter of 10.4. A straight-line plot of grafting rate versus volume percent styrene was obtained. (Modified author abstract)
