8、Zero and Level One Tests3.Summary of Test Method3.1 Aspecimen of the raw rubber is purified by precipitationwith methanol from a solution in methyl ethyl ketone or byextraction of the solid rubber with methanol in a Soxhletapparatus.3.2 The purified rubber specimen is again dissolved inmethyl ethyl
9、ketone and a film is cast on a potassium bromide(KBr)disc.3.3 The infrared spectrum of the film is obtained with aFourier Transform Infrared Spectrophotometer(FT-IR)or adispersive infrared spectrophotometer.3.4 The corrected absorbance of the specific absorptionbands for acrylonitrile(ACN),butadiene
10、(BD),and hydroge-nated butadiene(HBD)are determined using the baselinemethod and the percentage of residual unsaturation(doublebonds in unhydrogenated butadiene)is calculated with the aidof absorbance factors from the referenced literature.34.Significance and Use4.1 Hydrogenated nitrile rubbers are
11、available at differentlevels of unsaturation and different acrylonitrile content.Highly saturated grades offer optimum resistance to aging,such as exposure to heat,ozone,and chemicals,and can beeffectively cured only with peroxides or high energy radiation.4.2 Partially unsaturated grades can be cur
12、ed by sulfursystems in addition to peroxides and high energy radiation.4.3 This test method provides an infrared technique todetermine the unsaturation level of hydrogenated nitrile rub-bers in the raw state.It can be used for research anddevelopment,quality control,and referee purposes.1This test m
