EFFECT OF TEMPERATURE ON THE RADIATION CROSSLINKING OF CARBOXYMETHYLCELLULOSE. PART 1. RADIATION CROSSLINKING OF CARBOXYMETHYLCELLULOSE EFFECT OF ELEVATED TEMPERATURE ON THE RADIATION CROSSLINKING OF CARBOXYMETHYLCELLULOSE

Abstract

The results of the interaction of high energy radiation with polymers depend on manyparameters including radiation itself, irradiation conditions, and the nature of polymer. Only one study of the effect of temperature during irradiation on the crosslinking of CMC was found inthe literature [9]. In this research, the effect of temperature on the radiation crosslinking of CMC samples was investigated, in part I, we study about the effect of elevated temperature during thetime of irradiation on the gel fraction and swelling ratio of CMC
