This new volume in the book series New Concepts inPolymer Science contains extensive information on the main theoreticaland practical problems involved in radiation chemistry of polymers. Theprocesses of polymerization and modification of polymers by grafting,crosslinking, degradation, etc. induced by ionizing radiation aredescribed, as well as the radiation resistance of polymers and theirprotection from radiation.
The book also contains applications of radiation chemistry of polymers,such as: principles of selection of radiation-chemical processes forindustrial use; choice of radiation sources for specifice processes;modification of textile and film materials by grafting; manufacturing ofheat-shrinkable, thermostable and mechanically strong polymer products;composites; rubber vulcanizates and self-adhesive products, paints andcoatings, man-made fibers, materials for microelectronics, polymermaterials for medical purposes, etc.
This book will be of value and interest to researchers in the field ofpolymer science in academic and industrial spheres.
