Abstract
Radiation-induced crosslinking of poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA)-poly(methylene oxide) (PEO) blends was studied. It was found that PMMA in PMMA-PEO blend can be crosslinked in the range of certain doses (1∼20 × 104 Gy) and composition (PMMA% = 30∼70) under the absence of oxygen. Moreover, it was also found that the crosslinking degree of PMMA in the blend in which the content of PMMA is 70% is the largest. The crosslinking degree of PMMA in the blend is closely related with the polymer miscibility. The crosslinking degree of the blend prepared at 60°C is far higher than one at ambient temperature.Keywords
