Notes:
Radical generation after γ-irradiation at 77 K and radical reactions during temperature increase are discussed for the polymers poly(2-chloroethyl methacrylate) and poly(1,2,2,2-tetrachloroethyl methacrylate), mixed with triallylisocyanurate (TAIC). After the radiation interaction radicals are generated in the ester alkyl side groups of the polymer by chlorine abstraction in both polymer/TAIC mixtures. Radical transfer to TAIC occurs during temperature increase to produce allyl radicals. Hence, the high radiation sensitivity of chlorine-containing polymers is combined with the reactivity of allyl radicals of TAIC in such polymer-TAIC mixtures.
