Notes:
Bulk polymerization of isobutyl vinyl ether was studied at 25°C in a wide dose rate range, 8.2-277 rad/sec by γ rays and 8.8 × 103-2.2 × 105 rad/sec by electron beams. At low dose rate, 8.2-277 rad/sec, only the radical polymerization took place. At high dose rate exceeding 8.8 × 103 rad/sec, cationic polymerization was found to occur in addition to the radical polymerization. DPn of the product at high dose rate was 9-10. Further drying of the monomer increased Rp, and molecular weight of the product formed by cationic mechanism also increased.
