Processes of Structure Formation in Aqueous Poly(vinyl alcohol) Solutions Under Vacuum Ultraviolet Irradiation
摘要
Abstract
It has been found that, when an aqueous 5% poly(vinyl alcohol) solution is subjected to vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) radiation at a wavelength of 172 nm, the solution structure changes to form crosslinked fragments of the polymer despite the fact that VUV radiation penetrates into the solution to a small depth.
