LET and dose rate effect on radiation-induced copolymerization of maleimide with styrene in 2-propanol solution

► Maleimide with styrene in N2-saturated 2-propanol was irradiated by electron and heavy ions. ► LET and dose rate effects of radical polymerization induced by irradiation were studied. ► Results have shown the relation between radical distribution and efficiency of polymerization.
