The oxidation of linear polyethylene inhibited by an effective antioxidant of the phenolic type, viz. 2,2'-methylene-bis [4-methyl-6-tert. butylphenol), has been studied over the temperature range 170-210. There is a critical concentration of antioxidant above which the rate of its consumption is di

## Abstract Samples of high‐density polyethylene were irradiated with x‐rays and oxidized with concentrated nitric acid to determine the location of unsaturated groups. Vinyl groups initially present in the polymer were rapidly oxidized to the extent of 85% and are assumed to be excluded from the c
Following gamma irradiation in air which causes bond scission and yields large concentrations of peroxy radicals, maximum oxidation and an increase in crystallinity occurs on the surface of ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene. Here, bimolecular reactions of peroxy radicals generate carbonyls, mo
