8、gnificance and Use5.1 Identification of specific acrylic polymers in emulsionpaints is often difficult or impossible by infrared alone. This isparticularly true when the acrylic is present in a small amountas a comonomer with vinyl acetate, or when blended withalkyds or other ester systems. If ident
9、ification of an acryliccomponent is required in such a system, it may often beaccomplished by gas-liquid chromatographic analysis of thepyrolyzed paint film. The presence of a number of otherpolymers may often also be confirmed by pyrolysis since theyproduce characteristic and reproducible pyrograms
10、.5.2 The pyrograms obtained from unknown samples vary incomplexity according to the sample composition. It is neces-sary to establish the presence or absence of as many compo-nents as possible from a study of the infrared spectra obtainedin the first part of this practice. The gas-liquid chromatogra
11、phyresults may then be used to help identify any unknowncomponents present and to confirm identifications made byinfrared.6. Interferences6.1 Dibutyl maleate and dibutyl fumarate monomers are notsuccessfully recovered by this procedure. If their presence issuspected as comonomer in a vinyl acetate c
12、opolymer system,n-butyl alcohol should be found in the pyrolyzate. Thisevidence, together with the absence of butyl acrylate or butylmethacrylate monomer peaks, is an indirect indication of thepresence of one or both of these monomers.6.2 The presence of relatively low quantities of copolymer-ized a
13、cids may not be successfully established by thisprocedure, due to some unavoidable decomposition of acrylateand methacrylate esters to acrylic or methacrylic acid and thecorresponding alcohols during the pyrolysis.

24、fer 1 to 2 g of emulsion paint to a 100-mLborosilicate glass beaker. Add approximately 2 mL of waterand swirl or use a clean glass rod to spread the paint uniformlyover the bottom of the beaker.9.2 Place the beaker in an oven at 105 to 6 2C for at least2 h, breaking up any skins that form so that co
25、mplete drying isensured.9.3 Add 50 mL of water, cover with a watchglass, and placeon a steam bath or low-temperature hotplate for 1 h. Thisprocess removes emulsifiers, protective colloids, and otherwater-soluble components that might interfere with interpreta-tion of the infrared spectrum. Decant of
26、f the clear water layerand discard. If the addition of the distilled water to the driedpaint film produces a milky dispersion, the drying step in 9.2was not complete and should be repeated.NOTE 1If there is an interest in characterization of the emulsifiersystem used, the water should be filtered th
27、rough a fine-texture filter paperand taken to dryness. The solids may then be examined by infrared.9.4 Dry for 15 to 20 min in an oven at 105 to 6 2C. Add50 mL of petroleum ether or heptane, cover with a watchglass,and bring to a slow boil for approximately 5 min. This processremoves most emulsified
28、 plasticizers, oils, and other waterinsoluble, nonpolymeric organic materials, which might alsointerfere with the interpretation of the infrared spectrum.Decant off the solvent and discard.NOTE 2If there is an interest in characterizing the water-insolublepetroleum ether-soluble fraction, it should
29、also be filtered throughfine-texture paper, taken to dryness, and examined by infrared.9.5 Add 10 mL of the extraction solvent mixture (8.3) andplace on a steam bath or low-temperature hotplate for approxi-mately 1 h. Filter, while still hot, through a fine-texture filterpaper. If the polymer soluti
30、on is viscous, it may be dilutedfurther with extraction solvent mixture and warmed prior tofiltration. Alternatively, the pigment may be removed from thepolymer solution by centrifuging. Evaporate the solution on thesteam bath or hotplate to a volume of 1 mL or less.9.6 Place the concentrated polyme
31、r solution on a halide saltcrystal and spread to form a uniform film. The thickness of thefilm should be such that when the infrared spectrum isrecorded, the transmittance of the strongest band falls between5 and 15 %. Dry the film in an oven at 105 6 2C for 1 h andcool in a desiccator.9.7 Record th
32、e infrared spectrum from 2.5 to 15 m so thata spectral resolution of 0.04 m is maintained throughout thatrange. (Methods for achieving this resolution will vary accord-ing to the directions of the manufacturer of the instrumentused.)3The sole source of supply of silicone resin SE-30, known to the co

ProcedurePyrolysis-Gas Liquid Chromatography10.1 Coat the resistance wire filament of the pyrolysis unitby dipping it into the original paint sample to be tested.Remove the
38、 volatiles either by drying the filament in an ovenfor about 30 min at 105 6 2C or by heating it electrically withthe power supply set at 1 or 2 A (100 to 200C) forapproximately 10 min. If a larger volume of pyrolyzate isrequired than would be produced by the initial amount ofsample deposited, addit
39、ional layers of coating may be added byrepeating the dipping and drying steps.10.2 Place the coated filament-vial cap assembly in a smallbeaker. Extract with water, followed by petroleum ether orheptane, as outlined in 9.3 and 9.4.10.3 Add a few drops of liquid nitrogen to the vial or flushwith nitr
40、ogen gas to prevent oxidation reactions from occurringduring the pyrolysis.NOTE 3If the infrared spectrum obtained in 9.8 shows poly(vinylacetate) or poly(vinyl chloride) to be present, the pyrolysis step should bemodified to prevent the acetic or hydrochloric acid formed from degradingother monomer
41、s that may be present in the pyrolyzate. Addition of a dropof concentrated ammonium hydroxide to the vial just prior to pyrolysis,neutralizes the acid as it is formed. The pyrolyzate may then be recoveredby dissolving in diethyl ether just before sampling.10.4 Tightly screw the coated filament-cap a
42、ssembly ontothe glass vial and connect the filament leads to the powersupply.10.5 Submerge the entire vial in liquid nitrogen contained ina small Dewar flask. Allow to equilibrate for several minutes,then apply a predetermined current for approximately 10 to 15min.NOTE 4The optimum temperature which
43、 varies for different polymertypes may be determined experimentally from known polymer systems.Six amperes (approximately 600C) has been found to be close tooptimum for the types tested. A study of the pyrolysis of acrylic polymersshowed that heating times varying from 10 to 30 min produced nosignif
44、icant differences in the composition of the pyrolyzate.10.6 Turn off the power supply and allow the filament tocool for several minutes. Remove the vial from the liquidnitrogen and substitute a standard screw cap for the filament-cap.10.7 Using a syringe, add n-butyl acetate to the pyrolyzateequal t
45、o approximately 20 % of the pyrolyzate volume.10.8 Install the silicone resin column in the chromatographand allow it to condition to 200C. Set up the followingconditions on the chromatograph:Temperatures, CInjection port 270Detector block 270Column (programmed):Initial 70Final 200T, C/min 6Carrier
46、gas: heliumFlow rate, mL/min 60Detector current, mA 15010.9 Inject 5 L of pyrolyzate into the chromatograph,engage the chart drive, and start the temperature programmer.Attenuate as necessary during the run.NOTE 5The use of the method described minimizes the tendency ofpyrolysis products to undergo
47、secondary reactions while still in the vaporstate. This simplifies the chromatograms obtained, making interpretationeasier.10.10 Calculate retention times relative to the n-butyl ac-etate internal standard peak for each major peak obtained.Compare relative retention times obtained with known valuesf
48、or monomers of interest (see Table 1).10.11 If any doubt remains concerning an identificationbased on the pyrogram obtained, it is recommended that thepeak of interest be trapped as it is eluted from the chromato-graph for subsequent positive identification by infrared spec-troscopy or mass spectrom
49、etry.10.12 Burn off any remaining organic residue by applying 8or 9 A for a few seconds. Disconnect the filament from thepower supply; then clean off any adhering pigment by gentlybrushing with a test tube brush while holding the filamentunder running water. The same filament may be reused manytimes.6The boldface numbers in parentheses refer to the list of references at the end ofthis practice.TABLE 1 Relative Retention TimesAMonomer or Alcohol Relative RetentionMethanol 0.13Ethanol 0.16Acrylonitrile 0.25Vinyl acetate 0.37Methyl acrylate 0.45Isobutanol
