Poly(ethylene tetrachloro-o-phthalate), a polyester from ethylene glycol and tetrachlorophthalic anhydride, was irradiated in the presence of styrene, styrene/dioxane and styrene/n-hexane. The experimental data indicate that, in the presence of some organic solvents, styrene was grafted on the polye

✦ Synopsis
Abstraet--Poly(ethylene tetrachloro-o-phthalate) was irradiated in various concentrations in dioxane in a ~°Co cell. No degradation or crosslinking of the main chains was observed up to a dose of 236" 448 Mrad. The predominant effect is the rupture of the carbon-halogen bond and the capture of most of the halogen by hydrogen to give HCI. Experimental evidence show that hydrogen is extracted from the ethylene glycol part of the polyester by intramolecular reactions, and from the solvent. NMR measurements show probable atkylation of the aromatic part by reactive intermediate radiolysis products of dioxane.
