Abstract: | The radiation-induced graft polymerization of butadiene onto poly(vinyl chloride) powder was studied. By the kinetic treatment of elementary reactions the values of kp and ktZ] of the graft polymerization were obtained. The activation energy of the propagation was calculated as 16.0 kcal mole?1. The value of kp was proportional of the 0.42 power of the dose rate and that of ktZ] was proportional to the 0.84 power of the dose rate. |
