Free Radicals in Plastic Food Containers

Free radicals in polymers are produced during synthesis and interaction with catalysts, initiator of chemical reactions, fillers, stabilizers, and other substances which as chemically or physically active remain dissolved in condensed phase of final product. Also γ irradiation causes both immediate and time dependent changes which arise from the presence of long living free radicals. The free r...
