Abstract

A log‐log plot of sol fraction versus dose has been found to be an effective graphical technique to treat sol‐gel analysis data. The treatment procedure is described in detail with an example of radiation crosslinking of linear low‐density polyethylene. Radiation chemical yields both for crosslinking and scission of macromolecules were determined using Monte Carlo simulation. © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 81: 2621–2625, 2001
