Radiation-Induced Solid-State Polymerization in Binary Systems. VI. Polymerization of Vinyl Compounds in the Supercooled Liquid Phase

Abstract
The radiation-induced polymerization of glass-forming systems containing vinyl monomers was investigated. Irradiation below the secondorder transition temperature (Tg) of the systems causes no in-source polymerization but does cause a very rapid postpolymerization in the course of heating above Tg. Differential thermal analysis was carried out to estimate Tg and to follow the postpolymerization.
