Rubber Identification Project. Part I.

Abstract

In general terms, the major goal of the project was to evaluate the techniques of infrared spectrophotometry (I.R.), pyrolysis gas chromatography (P.G.C.) and gel permeation chromatography (G.P.C.) for potential use in a quality control program for monitoring the major constituents of finished rubber components used in Sonar devices. During the course of the project the major goal was redefined and a more specific one undertaken. Work in the research program was then directed toward evaluating the techniques of I.R., P.G.C. and G.P.C. for potential use in a quality control program for monitoring the polymer fraction of uncured, compounded butyl (isobutylene), Neoprene (Chloroprene), and natural (isoprene) based rubber materials.
