Abstract
Gamma-ray induced copolymerization of phenyl acetylene with styrene is compared with that of the Ziegler catalyzed. The reactivity of styrene is greater than that of phenyl acetylene in the gamma-ray induced polymerization but much less than that of phenyl acetylene in the Ziegler catalyzed. The resulting copolymer is identified by means of DTA and spectrophotometry. Further, the liquid scintillation counting of styrene-${\alpha}-C^{14}$clarified the relative composition of the copolymers.
