## Abstract The radiationโinduced grafting of lowโdensity polyethylene in contact with styrene solution was studied. The effect of the degree of swelling of the polymer on the rate of grafting was investigated by diluting the styrene with methanol and with __n__โoctane. For styreneโmethanol solutio

## Abstract Measurements were made of the tensile properties polyethyleneโstyrene grafts prepared by irradiating polyethylene films in liquid styrene. The films contained true graft and occluded styrene homopolymer. It was shown that yield strength, tensile strength, and initial modulus of elastici
The influence of the type of polyethylene on the rate and yield of grafting of styrene was studied by using simultaneous irradiation with -r-rays and also pre-irradiation in vacuo. By both methods, the grafting yield was found to be higher in high density polyethylene, except at low temperature with
