ESR Studies of the Interaction of Nitrogen and Oxygen Atoms with Polystyrene

Freeze-dried polystyrene ``fluffs'' were found to react with gaseous oxygen or nitrogen atoms to yield free-radical products which were observed by ESR spectroscopy. Both oxygen and nitrogen atoms apparently add into the polymer at a rate significantly slower than that which has been obser...

Description
Summary:Freeze-dried polystyrene ``fluffs'' were found to react with gaseous oxygen or nitrogen atoms to yield free-radical products which were observed by ESR spectroscopy. Both oxygen and nitrogen atoms apparently add into the polymer at a rate significantly slower than that which has been observed for hydrogen-atom addition.
