Abstract

This work focuses on the effect of gamma-ray radiation conditions on the stimuli-responsive of polypropylene (PP) films and silicone (SR) rubber substrates grafted with N-vinylcaprolactam (NVCL) and acrylic acid (AAc). PP films and SR rubber were weighed and placed into glass ampoules and exposed to 60Co γ-source in the presence of air at room temperature, at dose rate around 12 kGy h-1 and dose between 5 and 70 kGy. Solutions of NVCL and AAc (1/1, v/v), 50 % monomer concentration (v/v) in toluene were added to the samples, the ampoules were degassed by repeated freeze-thaw cycles (5 times per 20 min) and sealed. The ampoules were heated at 60 or 70 °C at reaction time per 12 h. To extract the residual monomer and homopolymer formed during the grafting, the samples were soaked in ethanol for 24 h and then in distilled water, followed by drying under vacuum to constant weight. The values of grafting percentage achieved at a given irradiation dose were higher for SR than for PP. Samples where characterized by FTIR-ATR, DSC, swelling, LCST, and pH critical point.
