✦ Synopsis

Studies have been carried out on irradiated systems of acrylic acid in aqueous solution and acrylic acid-polyethylene systems in order to discover the cause of the enhanced crosslinking mentioned in previous literature from this laboratory'. Theories which have been investigated includc: free radical mechanisms, anhydride mechanisms, ionic mechanism, entanglements, hydrogen bonding. It seems that hydrogen bonding is the most plausible.

High water-absorbent copolymers comprising acrylic acid (AA) and acrylamide (AM) were prepared in the presence of a crosslinking agent, monofunctional aldehyde, by a solution polymerization technique using a redox initiation system. Such copolymers have very high water absorbency and absorbing kinet

## Abstract **Summary:** The ambient temperature (20 °C) reversible addition fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization of __N__‐isopropylacrylamide (NIPAAm) and acrylic acid (AA) conducted directly in aqueous media under __γ__‐initiation (at dose rates of 30 Gy · h^−1^) proceeds in a contr
