On radiation polymerization of vinyl esters of glycols and aminoalcohols

Water-soluble polymers, based on ethylene-, diethyleneglycol monovinyl ethers and monoethanolamine vinyl ether, which contain reactive hydroxyl and amino groups in the side chain are synthesized by radiation-induced polymerization method (60Co γ-irradiation at different dose rates and temperatures). Polymerization radical mechanism is determined and absolute values of rate constants of propagation and termination are found in aqueous solutions anomalous change of the reaction rate and MM of polymers depending on the monomer content is detected
