Mp. Carreon et al., Graft polymerization of N,N-dimethylaminoethylmethacrylate onto polycarbonates by the preirradiation method, POLYM BULL, 43(4-5), 1999, pp. 403-408
Radiation-induced graft polymerization of N,N-dimethylaminoethylmethacrylat
e (DMAEMA) from solutions in carbon tetrachloride or in chloroform onto bis
phenol A-derived polycarbonate (PC-1) and allyl diglycol carbonate (PC-2),
respectively, was carried out by method of preirradiation in air. It has be
en found essential difference in transparency and durability of the modifie
d PC-1 and PC-2. Effects of preirradiation dose as well as temperature and
time of graft polymerization on effectiveness of DMAEMA grafting onto PC-2
were investigated, the optimal values of dose and temperature are 500 kGy a
nd 55 degrees C, respectively.
