Solid-State Polymerization of Phospho-nitrilic Chloride

Nature volume 195, pages 491–492 (1962)Cite this article

Abstract

SINCE the work of Mesrobian et al.1 on the polymerization of acrylamide, many monomers have been polymerized in the solid state by γ-rays or electron beam2–4. Hayashi and Okamura5 have recently irradiated cyclic monomers and found that the rate of polymerization increases up to the melting point of the monomers and that polymerization occurs only in the solid state.
