A process for forming a polymeric foam comprising mixing a liquid multi-functional acrylate monomer and a liquid nonionic fluoronated alkyl-ester surfactant, foaming the surfactant monomer mixture and passing the foamed surfactant monomer mixture under a source of electron beam radiation to polymerize the monomer into a polymeric foam structure.

Polymer foams produced by electron beam radiation

An absorbent material is prepared by treating a substrate with an aqueous monomer dispersion of an acrylate salt and a cross-linking monomer and thereafter irradiating the treated substrate with high energy ionizing radiation to form a cage matrix of the polymer and monomer substrate. The absorbent material can be swelled with a solution containing a volatile additive to dispense said additive over a period of time.

Radiation induced graft polymerization

An air freshener gel comprising 2.5-15% amylose, 0.25-30% perfume, up to 5% pigment, and the balance water.
