Polymer/Solvent Interaction in the Radiation-Induced Grafting of Vinyl Monomers on Polymeric Films.
Abstract
Evidence has been obtained concerning rate effects in the radiation-induced grafting of vinyl monomers on polymeric films resulting from plasticization of the film by the grafting solution, the plasticizing efficiency of the solution being indicated by its Hildebrand solubility parameter. The grafting mechanisms are elucidated by the construction of three-component phase diagrams for the polymer/solvent (1)/solvent (2) grafting systems, using equations based on the Flory-Huggins theory of polymer/solvent interaction.
