J. Chen et al., Preparation of interpenetrating polymer networks by two times grafting of monomers onto preirradiated polypropylene film, RADIAT PH C, 59(3), 2000, pp. 313-316
An interpenetrating polymer network (IPN) hydrogel was made by the grafting
of acrylamide (AAm) and acrylic acid (AAc) onto preirradiated polypropylen
e (PP) film. AAm and AAc were grafted onto preirradiated PP film by two tim
es grafting reaction. Thermo-sensitive behaviors were determined. The effec
t of first and second reactions on the degree of grafting was studied. Trap
ped radicals on samples with different storage conditions and reaction cond
itions were determined by electron spin resonance (ESR). (C) 2000 Elsevier
