Abstract:The kinetics and mechanisms of emulsion polymerisations initiated by gamma-irradiation were investigated. Styrene and methyl methacrylate emulsions polymerised either by direct irradiation or by polyvinyl acetate latices, prepared by irradiation, conformed to a SMITH-EWART Case I1 mechanism. Vinyl acetate emulsions polymerised more slowly than predicted by the SMITH-EWART theory and were probably retarded by side reactions.
