Abstract

The nature and behavior of free radicals induced in acetylated cotton celluloses irradiated with γ‐rays have been studied by electron spin resonance (ESR) spectroscopy. Dehydrogenation and deacetylation appear to be responsible for the free radicals observed from samples irradiated at 77°K. The degree of substitution enhanced the yield of acetyl radicals when the samples were irradiated at 77°K and adversely affected the overall radical concentration when irradiation was done at 300°K. In addition, the ESR spectra of samples irradiated under vacuum at 300°K were more intense than those obtained from samples irradiated in air. The nature, yield, and post‐irradiation behavior of the primary radicals are discussed in the light of the ultimate chemical effects observed.

Six polyesters were synthesized from 4,4'-(hexa¯uoroisopropylidene)-bis(benzoyl chloride) and 1,4-, 1,5-, 1,6-, 2,3-, 2,6-and 2,7-naphthalene diol (ND) isomers. The structures of the polyesters were characterized by IR spectroscopy and the results were in good agreement with the expected structures.
