Summary

The gamma-ray induced, solid state crosslinking of polynorbornene(PolyNB) and its copolymer was studied. PolyNB degradates when irradiated in air, but it is readily crosslinked in vacuum. Homopolymer and copolymers containing a stabilizing group, 3,5-di-tert-butyl-4-hydroxybenzoyloxy group, were resistant to crosslinking showing induction periods before crosslinking. The irradiated PolyNB showed an ESR signal due to the allyl radical, and the polymer containing the hydroxybenzoyloxy group showed a signal due to the quinolic radical.
