Novel anisotropic hybrid particles with various morphologies have been synthesized by radiation miniemulsion polymerization for the first time.

Previous investigations on solid state polymerization are reviewed, and a few examples of new experimental results are added. Radiation-induced polymerizations of methyl methacrylate in the supercooled liquid phase, and of cyclohexene oxide in the plastic crystalline phase, have been examined. Polymerizations of acrylamide and N-vinylcarbazole were investigated on a solid surface with initiatio...

Polyacrylamide gel (PAG) dosimeters show considerable promise as three-dimensional dosimeters for the verification of complex dose distributions associated with conformal therapy. However, the potential of PAG dosimeters has not yet been borne out in clinical practice and it is apparent that basic investigations of these dosimeters are still required. The polymerization reactions in PAG dosimet...

Radiation Effect, Chloroplast, 0 2 Evolution, Immobilization, Radiation Polymerization, Low Temperatures The effect of y-ray irradiation and immobilization by means of radiation polymerization on PS II activity ( 0 2 evolution) of isolated chloroplasts from spinach was investigated. Reduction of 0 2 evolution activity by irradiation was small at lower temperatures below — 24 °C, but the activit...
