Values of time of ball drop (seconds), specific viscosity (), relative viscosity (), and intrinsic viscosity (η) calculated for a GAP solution at different irradiation times.

Irradiation time	Time of ball drop (s)			η
0 min	59.98	5.062	4.062	2.209 ± 0.00
10 min	59.48	5.020	4.020	2.194 ± 0.02
15 min	58.68	4.952	3.952	2.169 ± 0.03
30 min	58.62	4.947	3.947	2.167 ± 0.07
45 min	57.75	4.873	3.873	2.139 ± 0.06
60 min	57.66	4.866	3.866	2.136 ± 0.07
90 min	55.55	4.687	3.687	2.070 ± 0.03
120 min	54.45	4.595	3.595	2.034 ± 0.05

Each experiment was carried out in triplicate. Average time of ball drop of the solvent: 11.85 seconds. Intrinsic viscosity (η) was expressed as mean ± relative standard deviation (SD).
