The molecular weights of the polymers obtained by irradiation with gamma rays in methylethylketone and in ethyl alcohol solution were 33,000 and 44,000 g/mol, respectively. From the characterization by infrared spectroscopy it was possible to verify that the polymers obtained in two studied cases actually correspond to poly(vinyl acetate).465-468openAccesspolyvinylschemical radiation effectspolymerizationionizing radiationsgamma radiationcobalt 60molecular weightArtigo de periódico3/66310.1016/S0969-806X(01)00541-2https://orcid.org/0000-0002-7968-2117
