6、f Test Method3.1 The method of standard additions is employed.Incre-ments of cellulose nitrate,in solution,are added to aliquots ofthe sample.Absorbance measurements are made of the band at11.8 m(848 cm1)for each addition.The original content isthen calculated from absorbance versus concentration.4.
7、Significance and Use4.1 Coating compositions based on a mixture of syntheticresins and cellulose nitrate dissolved in organic solvents arequantitatively analyzed for the cellulosic derivative withoutisolating it.The test method is applicable to lacquers for whichthe grade of nitrocellulose is known
8、and available.Othercellulosics,alkyd resins,many vinyl resins,and solvents do notinterfere.Components,such as acrylic resins and some vinylpolymers,that absorb infrared near 11.8 m(848 cm1)interfere with the determination.High boiling ester solvents,inparticular methyl cellosolve acetate,may also in
9、terfere with thedetermination if not removed in the evaporation procedure(see8.3).5.Apparatus5.1 Infrared Spectrophotometer,automatic recording,double-beam.Most infrared spectrophotometers operate from2.5 to 15 m(4000 to 650 cm1),but in this test method onlythe range between 10 to 14 m(1000 and 750
