β¦ Synopsis
The topological approach to radiation crosslinking of polymers is based on research of the transition from one topological form of macromolecules to another form, especially from a branched to a network form. The different types of transition and different threshold doses are considered. On the basis of the statistical physics of macromolecules, a conclusion about the network formation through cycles of definite size was made. The dependence of properties of radiation-crosslinked polymers on characteristics of topological forms was studied. The characteristics of topological forms for some polymers [poly(vinylchloride), block copolymers, and polyethylene] were determined. 0 1996 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

## Abstract A study was made of the solubility of irradiated polyethylene. The experimental data were treated according to the SaitoβInokuti theory for gel formation in polymers exposed to ionizing radiation. Among other things, this theory is based upon the molecular weight distribution of the uni
The theory of dynamic systems was used for a simulation of the transition between branched and network macromolecular structures. The system of difference equations was proposed as a corresponding model. The dependence of the limit fraction of crosslinked units on the values of equation coefficients
The dose dependence of crosslinking yields was determined for irradiated compositions of poly(viny1 chloride) and polyethylene with an allylic polyfunctional monomer (PFM). Therewith, the notion of the differential crosslinking yield GY was used. The dose dependence of G: has a maximum for the inves
