Abstract
The efficiency of activation and interaction of styrene with fibrous cotton cellulose was increased by the indirect effects of radiation-excited cotton and of methanol and N,N-dimethylformamide. The high radiochemical yields indicated that a chain reaction was initiated. The polystyrene was located within the growth layers of the fibers. The elongation-at-break and resistance to wetting of polystyrene-cotton were greater than that of cotton, and the average stiffness, less. The polystyrene-cotton was thermoplastic.Keywords
