Radiation-Initiated Copolymerization of N-Vinylpyrrolidone with Triethylene Glycol Dimethacrylate

Abstract

The kinetics of radiation-initiated copolymerization of N-vinylpyrrolidone with triethylene glycol dimethacrylate was studied. The variation of the composition of the 3D cross-linked copolymer and of the amount of N-vinylpyrrolidone homopolymer in the course of the process at various initial monomer ratios was monitored.
