Abstract: The macroradicals generated by  γ-radiolysis of atactic polystyrene were investigated by means of e.s.r. spectroscopy. The kinetics of decay of alkyl macroradicals in the temperature interval 20—100°C were examined by means of stochastic models for diffusion-controlled reactions. A temperature correla­tion between kinetic parameters of macroradical transport and molecular motions in an amorphous sample has been found.
