Abstract:Semicrystalline copolymers of caprolactone and allyl glycidyl ether(CL-AGE) have been crosslinked at various temperatures both above and below the crystalline melting point by electron beam irradiation. Gel fraction increases with irradiation dose up to 40 Mrad and shows slightly higher values when irradiated above the melting point compared to irradiation below the melting point. A stable spherulitic crossed polarizer optical microscopy pattern of the CL-AGE copolymer cross linked in the semicrystalline state… Show more
