The electron spin resonance method was employed to study the nature, concentration and kinetics of the disappearance under varying conditions of radicals produced in polyethylene by fast electron irradiation at 77°K. The predominant radical species at 77°K is the alkyl radical —CH 2 —ĊH—CH 2 —. On being warmed to room temperature it disappears rapidly, revealing a more stable un­identified radical. The kinetics of the decay at room temperature of both radicals was observed. Their stabilities were found to vary in polyethylene samples of differing physical and chemical properties. G values for these radicals are given. Comparison was made with spectra obtained under similar conditions with two pure paraffins and a pure olefin to evaluate the effect of crystallinity branching, molecular weight and unsaturation. In the olefin there is evidence for a build-up of allyl radicals due to the encounter of an alkyl radical with main chain unsaturation. This supports the view that alkyl radicals are mobile, and cross-linking occurs when two such radicals meet.

The intensity of the Cu2+ esr signal increased significantly on the addition of CO or SO2, especially with SO2, at room temperature to the preheated (at 400 °C) and evacuated CuO–alumina catalyst. When the CO or SO2 treated sample was evacuated at room temperature, the shape and intensity of the Cu2+ esr line returned to their original values. The intensity of the Cu2+ esr line decreased, but not to zero, on heating CuO–alumina either with CO or SO2. In the case of SO2, a new line appeared for the [Formula: see text] ion which was not affected on evacuation. It seems that the [Formula: see text] do not take part in the reduction of SO2 with CO over the CuO–alumina catalyst.
