Summary

An investigation is presented of the swelling, thermal and morphological characteristics of copolymers of methyl methacrylate and 1,3-bis-(methacryloxymethyl)-1,1,3,3-tetramethyl disiloxane. These materials were prepared by copolymerization/ crosslinking of the two monomers by gamma irradiation. Studies were performed on copolymers with mole fraction of the silicon-containing monomer ranging from 0.09 to 0.42.
