Abstract
Abstract In a previous investigation, radiation was used to initiate a free radical reaction in a rubber-monomer mixture, the main object being the separation and characterization of the polymeric products. For this, the most suitable monomer was methyl methacrylate. The present investigation extends this work to quantitative aspects of energy absorption, and, for experimental reasons, styrene is a more convenient monomer. The polymerization of styrene on exposure to high energy radiation has been previously studied. Styrene has also been polymerized in the presence of polyisoprenes, including rubber, but not by irradiation.
