Abstract

The spontaneous polymerization of acrylamide in preliminarily γ-irradiated glycerol is studied. The process is initiated by hydroperoxide that results from the γ irradiation of glycerol; the limiting concentration of hydroperoxide is observed at small radiation doses. When acrylamide is added, hydroperoxide decomposes into radicals initiating polymerization. It is shown that the formation of hydroperoxide is affected by radiolysis products, technical admixtures in glycerol, and temperature.
