Abstract
An attempt has been made to polymerize acrylonitrile under gamma irradiation both at 26°C and at -78°C in the presence of additives having various electric properties, chemical compositions and specific surface areas. In the liquid phase the rate of polymerization is greatly increased by the presence of additives having a large specific surface area. The factors responsible for this are discussed and the probable mechanism considered.
