Gamma‐ray induced gaseous phase in situ polymerization of vinyl chloride and copolymerization of vinyl chloride with vinyl acetate in bagasse have been investigated and discussed. The prepared bagasse‐plastic combinations were not improved of its mechanical strength owing to the deposited PVC powder and the low copolymer loading in bagasse‐board. The viscosity average molecular weight of PVC formed in bagasse‐board was found to be slightly higher than that of PVC formed in the in situ liquid polymerization system. No graft reaction of PVC onto bagasse cellulose was observed, while low grade of graft reaction was confirmed with PVC‐PVAc copolymer system.
