β¦ Synopsis
Crosslinked poly(N-vinylpyrrolidone) (PVPy) beads were irradiated with β₯-rays in air from a 60 Co source. Preirradiated beads were grafted with polyacrylamide by refluxing with acrylamide in water or dioxane. Conditions for optimum grafting were determined under a variety of reaction parameters, such as the total dose, duration, and temperature of heating, and the molar concentration of acrylamide used. The effect of the addition of methanol to the aqueous medium during grafting was also studied. The pendant carboxamide groups of PVPy-g-polyacrylamide were transformed into amino, aminoethylamido, and hydrazide functionalities terminating in primary amino or hydrazido groups. These provide sites for immobilizing proteins through their amino or carboxyl groups and, also, handles for attaching reagent molecules.

The radiation initiated grafting of N-vinylpyrrolidone (NVP) acrylamide (AAm) and their mixtures onto polypropylene (PP) Γlms using a direct radiation technique has been investigated. Di β erent solvents were used for diluting the monomers and it was found that dioxane was suitable for this grafting
Polypropylene (PP) Γlms were grafted with N-phenylmaleimide using c-radiation. The e β ect of both monomer concentration and dose rate on the degree of grafting was measured. Characterization of the grafted PP Γlms included IR spectroscopy, X-ray spectroscopy, electrical conductivity, mechanical prop
