13. Chemical modification techniques for polymers
Polymer reactions can be carried out in solution, in a melt (particularly in a processing machine), by phase transfer catalysis and in the solid state. In the following, some specific methods are described: modification under irradiation, by phase transfer catalysis, by mechanochemistry and in processing machines.
13.1 Modification in the presence of UV or ionizing radiation
Modifications in the presence of UV or ionizing radiation provide a route to transformations that cannot be achieved chemically or, at the very least, only by reactions that are difficult to implement. This is the case for the isomerization
