SYNOPSISWe reported earlier on grafting hexafluoroisopropanol groups onto polyethylene through the reaction of polyethylene with hexafluoroacetone and di-t-butyl peroxide. The modified polyethylene was partially crosslinked. In this work, we adapted the Charlesby-Pinner Equation to estimate the ratio of chain scission to crosslinking in the reaction.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
