✦ Synopsis

Irradiation of acrolein vapors in the presence of films of nickel and other metals results in the formation of thin films of polyacrolein on the Petal surface. The polyarcrolain film protects the metal surface from abrasion and corrosion. RAymer growth is wre rapid on oxidized vs. unoxidized metal surface0 indicating a role for muface oxide sites in the polymerization process. Several other monomers investigated fail to form adhesive polymer fiti on metal films, but can be copolymerixed with acrolein.
