Abstract
AbstractThe effect of m‐phenylenedimaleimide on the rate of cross linking of synthetic rubbers, polyvinyl acetate, polyvinyl chloride, polyethylene, and other polymers, under the action of ionizing radiation is described. The dose reduction factor for equivalent degrees of crosslinking obtained with and without the maleimide varies from 10 to 25 for the synthetic rubber. Further evidence is given to show that maleimides sensitize the vulcanization of unsaturated polymers, principally by copolymerization, and certain saturated polymers containing labile atoms, by a transfer mechanism.
