A different approach, although stdl working with essentially non-fiinctional polymers has been exemplified [114,115], in which, a 100% solid (solvent free) hot melt has been irradiated to produce pressure-sensitive adhesives with substantially improved adhesive properties. Acrylic polymers, vinyl acetate copolymers with small amounts of A,A -dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate, diacetone acrylamide, A-vinyl pyrrohdone (NVP) or A A have been used in this study. Polyfunctional acrylates, such as trimethylolpropane trimethacrylate (TMPTMA) and thermal stabilizers can also be used.

The influence of polyfunctional monomers—tripropyleneglycol diacrylate (TPGDA), TMPTA, TMPTMA, TMMT, and TAG on the stmctural changes of fluorocarbon terpolymer poly(vinylide-nefluoride-co-hexafluoropropylene-co-tetrafluoroethylene) has been investigated [425]. The ATR-IR studies show that the absorbance due to the double bond at 1632 cm decreases both in the... 

It was found, when an attempt was made to conduct ship trials that the paint applier would be required to wear long sleeves, gloves, safety glasses, and a protective face shield. It is also a requirement that an eyewash fountain be nearby. These requirements were imposed because acrylates are skin, eye and respiratory tract irritants, but the problem lies mostly with the acrylated reactive diluent rather than with the acrylated resin (2,3). To avoid these problems, tests have been performed with use of trimethylolpropane trimethacrylate (TMPTMA) as a replacement for TMPTA. TMPTMA has been shown to be much less of an irritant than TMPTA, and is used in dental restorations.

The most effective prorads for PVC are acrylic and allylic esters, such as triallyl cyanurate (TAC), trimethylolpropane trimethacrylate (TMPTMA), and trimethylolpropane triacrylate. The triacrylate is more reactive than the trimethacrylate, but it is more toxic and, for that reason, is used only seldom. The amounts of these additives are 1 to 5% of the formulation weight. ... 

For methyl methacrylate plus 10% TMPTMA the strengths were only 12% higher for radiation treatment. This difference increased to 38% for styrene. Other structural properties, such as tensile strength and modulus of elasticity, showed similar trends. A higher bond strength...
