Popis: A study was made of the Co/sup 60/ gamma -ray-initiated polymerization of methyl methacrylate and styrene; conversion rates were measured by a dilatometric method. The dependence of polymerization rate on monomer concentration and radiation intensity was determined for each monomer. It is shown that the emulsion polymerization of methyl methacrylate can be described by accepted theories of emulsion polymerization; in the case of styrene a dependence of intensity exponent on monomer concentration was found. Such a dependence does not occur when conventional initinting systems are used, and cannot be explained without some modification of theory. (auth)
