The work presented here is the result of a series of experiments attempting to cross-link cotton by using difunctional monomers having at least one vinyl group. Emphasis was placed on the delayed cure aspects of these monomers. Chemical reaction of the monomers was initiated both by ionizing radiation and by a conventional. chemical free-radical catalyst.
