2、 case of revision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This test method covers the determination of freemonomer content of acrylic latexes. Mo
3、nomers that have beensuccessfully determined by this procedure include n-butylmethacrylate, n-butyl acrylate, styrene, and methyl methacry-late. The determination of other monomers has not beenevaluated, but this test method is believed to be applicable. Theestablished working range of this test met
4、hod is from 100 to1000 g/g, but there is no reason to believe it will not workoutside of this range, provided that appropriate dilutions andadjustments in specimen size are made.1.2 The volatile composition of acrylic latexes is expectedto change with time and environmental factors. This timedepende

The values

Unless otherwise indicated, it is intended thatall reagents shall conform to the specifications of the Commit-tee on Analytical Reage
18、nts of the American Chemical Society,where such specifications are available.5Other grades may beused, provided it is first ascertained that the reagent is ofsufficiently high purity to permit its use without lessening theaccuracy of the determination.6.2 Carrier Gas, helium of 99.995 % or higher pu

Highpurity nitrogen may also be used.6.3 Acetone, reagent grade.6.4 Isobutyl Acrylate (internal standard), 99+ % pure.NOTE 1Isobutyl acrylate was found to be a suitable internal standard,but any other monomer not found in the sample may be substituted. Theinternal standard chosen should yield
20、a clear chromatographic separation,and should be free of interferences.6.5 Monomers of Interest, 99+ % pure.7. Hazards7.1 Acrylic and methacrylic monomers are considered haz-ardous. Precautions should be taken to avoid inhalation andskin or eye contact with these chemicals. All sample prepara-tions
21、should be done in a well-ventilated area, such as a fumehood.8. Preparation of Apparatus8.1 Column ConditioningAttach one end of the column tothe inlet side of the instrument leaving the exit end of thecolumn disconnected. This prevents the contamination of thedetector due to column bleed. Set the h
22、elium flow rate at 30mL/min and purge the column at ambient temperature for 30min. Program the column oven from 50 to 220C at 2C/minand maintain at 220C overnight. In no case should thetemperature of the column be allowed to exceed 275C.8.2 After conditioning, connect the exit end of the column toth
23、e detector and establish the operating conditions required togive the desired separation (see Table 1). Allow sufficient timefor the instrument to reach equilibrium as indicated by a stablebaseline. Control the detector temperature so that it is constantto within 1C without thermostat cycling which
24、causes anuneven baseline. Adjust the carrier gas flow rate to a constantvalue.9. Calibration9.1 Determine the retention of each component expected tobe present by injecting small amounts either separately or inknown mixtures. Retention times should be determined eachday the method is used.9.2 Standa

If acetone (or another organic solvent) isfound to be compatible with the s

It should be kept in mind that some organic solvents mayinterfere with the chromatographic separation.10.4 Inject 2 L of the prepared solution (10.3) into thechromatographic column and record the chromatogram usingthe conditions as in 10.1.

Precision and Bias612.1 PrecisionIn an interlaboratory study of the methodby five laboratories using four samples, the within-laboratorycoefficient of variation was found to be 16.8 % relative at 11degrees of freedom and the between-laborator
42、ies coefficient ofvariation was 18.1 % relative at 8 degrees of freedom. Basedon these coefficients, the following criteria should be used forjudging the acceptability of results at the 95 % confidence level(see Practice D3980 and Note 4).12.1.1 RepeatabilityTwo results, each the mean of dupli-cate
