17. 13 reported the presence of large particles (i.e., aggregated polymers) in their sample obtained by passing a diluted aqueous PVA solution through a Millipore filter with a 0.45 μm pore size, our samples prepared via the present procedure were free from such large aggregates (see next section).

29. p. These results strongly suggest that only intermolecular cross-linking is dominant at the early stage of irradiation. In the case of the microgel formation process in question, we found the effect of the intramolecular cross-linking to be negligibly small at doses <∼0.07. Further details of these results will be reported separately.
