Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for measuring the level of a medium in a reactor during continuously operated polymerisation processes, whereby the limiting surface of each phase in the reactor is measured with the aid of an ionising radiation. Said method is characterised in that at least one measuring unit, consisting of a radiation source that emits ionising radiation and a corresponding detector, is brought up to the limiting surface in the reactor and is fixed in a flexible manner in the vicinity. To measure the level of the medium, the limiting surface of the phase is determined by measuring the radioactive backscatter of said phase.

Abstract:
A process for preparing an olefin polymer grafted poly(vinyl alcohol) polymer, in which an olefin polymer is first treated with a free radical polymerization initiator, a peroxidized olefin polymer material, or ionizing radiation, then grafted with a vinyl ester monomer to form an olefin polymer grafted poly(vinyl ester) polymer, and finally the vinyl ester moieties in the resulting grafted polymer are converted to vinyl alcohol moieties, at a temperature of from 25 to less than 100°C, in a mixed aromatic hydrocarbon/alkanol solvent system. The resulting olefin polymer grafted poly(vinyl alcohol) polymer has improved oxygen barrier properties.
