Notes:
Gamma radiation-initiated polymerization of ethylene in solution has been studied by measuring the pressure decrease with dose in a batch system. Water, ethanol, benzene, and carbon tetrachloride were used as solvents. The radiation intensity was 134,000 rep/hr. G values and number-average molecular weights were obtained from runs made at room temperature and at initial pressures of 5 to 13 atmospheres. The solvent radical yields and chain transfer constants for these systems were calculated from an expression derived on the assumption of a free radical mechanism with bimolecular termination.
