Аннотация:Paramagnetic products of low-temperature X-ray radiolysis of aqueous poly(vinyl alcohol) solutions (2.5 and 5% by weight) were studied by ESR spectroscopy. Experimental spectra were ascribed to a superposition of signals from hydroxyl radicals and -CH(2)-(center dot)C(OH)-CH(2)- macroradicals (C alpha-macroradicals), respectively. No ESR signals corresponding to trapped electrons were observed that was attributed to the peculiarities of microheterogenous structure of the frozen aqueous polymer solutions. Annealing at 115 K resulted in partial conversion of OH radicals to C alpha-macroradicals. It was suggested that main part of hydroxyl radicals was stabilized in phase of polycrystalline ice while macroradicals were formed in "mixed" water-polymer phase. The radiation-chemical yields of paramagnetic species stabilized in the systems under study were determined. (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
