The applicability to radiation‐induced cast polymerization of polyfunctional monomers or systems including them was studied. Most of polyfunctional monomers could be glassified and were applicable to radiation casting. The effect of tetraethylene glycol diacrylate on inner‐plasticized comonomer systems was studied in detail. It was found that the glass‐forming property increased by the addition of tetraethylene glycol diacrylate and that heat durability improved satisfactorily. The formation of optical strain in casting was relatively easier in polyfunctional monomers including systems due to inner stress, although the merit of radiation casting was still obvious.
