A mechanical torsion pendulum has been used to observe changes in viscoelastic behavior resulting from modification of polymer structure. Crosslinking, with consequent increase in glass temperature, has been observed in irradiated poly(methyl methacrylate) compositions incorporating triallyl cyanurate, which confers partial protection against chain scission.
