Summary of Test Method3.1 A sample of dried ETA-extracted polymer is pressedbetween sheets of aluminum foil to provide sheeted rubberhaving a thickness of not more than 0.50 mm. The boundstyrene content is calculated from the refractive ind
7、ex obtainedat 25C on this thinly sheeted rubber.4. Significance and Use4.1 The bound styrene test is a measure of the boundmonomeric composition of the rubber. It is used as a check onthe accuracy of monomer charging and also as a guide to theuniformity of the product, since the bound styrene conten

Unless otherwise indicated, it is intended thatall reagents conform to the specifications of the Committee onAnalytical Reagents of the American Chemical Society, wheresuch specific
17、ations are available.3Other grades may be used,provided it is first ascertained that the reagent is of sufficientlyhigh purity to permit its use without lessening the accuracy ofthe determination.7. Reagents7.1 Acidified ETAAdd 10 cm3of concentrated hydrochlo-ric acid (HCl, density 1.19 mg/m3) to a
18、portion of ETA (see7.3) and make the solution up to 1000 cm3with ETA.7.2 Alpha-Bromonaphthalene.7.3 Ethanol-Toluene Azetrope (ETA)Mix 70 volumes ofethanol or of formula 3A ethanol and 30 volumes of toluene,reflux the mixture 4 h over calcium oxide, and distill. Discardthe first and last portions, ke
19、eping only that distillate comingover within a range of 1C. Refluxing and distilling are notnecessary if anhydrous 3A ethanol is used or absolute grainalcohol is used.8. Procedure8.1 Sheet out the rubber to a thickness of 0.5 mm. Cut thesheeted rubber into strips approximately 13 mm wide and 25mm lo
20、ng. Fasten one strip to each leg of the aluminum spider,thus allowing each portion of the rubber to be contacted on allsides by the solvent. Place the spider and strips in a 400-cm3flask into which 60 cm3of ETA have been placed (foralum-coagulated polymers, use acidified ETA and the tantalumspiders)
21、. Extract for1hatatemperature at which the solventboils gently. Replace the solution with another 60 cm3of ETAor acidified ETA and extract for an additional 1 h, remove thespider from the flask, and dry the rubber to constant mass in thevacuum oven held at a pressure of about 1.3 kPa (10 mm Hg)and a
22、 temperature of 100 6 5C.NOTE 2It is important that the test specimens be extracted and driedthoroughly since either residual solvent or incompletely extracted mate-rials will result in erroneous readings of the refractive index.NOTE 3Avoid plastication of the sample by overheating.8.2 After the spe
23、cimens have been dried thoroughly, removethem from the spiders. At this point, any one of severaltechniques for pressing the specimen may be used. The methodof pressing may be modified to suit the type of rubber and thetype of equipment available. The pressure and the time ofpressing at 100C may be
24、varied. The specimen may be cooledto room temperature under pressure or removed from the presswhile hot. The time of hot pressing should never exceed 10min, preferably not even 5 min. The conditions should bechosen so that the pressed specimen is homogeneous and sothat a distinct line can be observe
25、d dividing the light and darkfields of the telescope when the refractive index is determined.Two general techniques are described for the pressing opera-tion.8.3 If the pressing is to be done between flat platens withouta cavity, proceed as follows, modifying the details of theprocedure to suit the
26、sample: Prepare approximately 25-mmsquares of the clean aluminum foil. Place a portion of one ofthe dried strips between two pieces of foil. Press the specimenbetween the foil squares with a force of between 2.2 and 5.6 kN(500 and 1500 lbf) at 100C for from 3 to 10 min (preferably3 to 5 min). If sev
27、eral specimens are pressed at one time,increase the applied force proportionally so that the pressure oneach specimen is between about 3.5 and 10 MPa (500 and 1500psi). Forces lower than the normal limits may be necessarywith some rubbers. It also may be necessary, with some rubbersamples, to allow
28、the pressed specimen to cool under pressurewhile cooling the press platens with cold water.8.4 If the cavity pressing plates described in Section 6 areused, proceed as follows: Place approximately 0.3 g of the dryextracted rubber between two sheets of aluminum foil about 50mm square and fold the cor
29、ners over once. Place this specimenbetween the pressing plates and place the plates in the press,held at 100C. Close the platens without applying pressure andpreheat for 1 min. Several specimens may be pressed at onetime.Apply a force of about 100 kN (11 ton) for 3 min. Releasethe pressure, remove t
30、he specimens from the press, and allowthem to cool.8.5 The thickness of the final specimen to be measured shallnot exceed 0.5 mm and may be much thinner. The ability tohandle the pressed specimen and obtain a good refractive indexreading are the only requirements with respect to specimenthickness.8.
31、6 Cut the specimen prepared in accordance with either 8.3or 8.4 in half with sharp scissors and peel off one piece of thefoil. Cut off a strip about 6 mm wide by 12 mm long with sharpscissors, such that one of the narrower ends is freshly cut. Thesecond piece of foil may be removed, but it is freque
32、ntly easierto handle the specimen with one foil piece left on the rubber.9. Measurement of Refractive Index9.1 Check the adjustment of the refractometer by means ofthe glass test piece pressed firmly against the prism with a dropof a-bromonaphthalene for contact liquid. The small lightsource should
33、be collimated; the best readings are obtainedwith the glass test piece if the light is diffused throughcrumpled tissue paper. After this adjustment, clean the prismwell with an alcohol and a lens paper.9.2 The refractive index of the glass test piece and of thespecimen must be measured at a known co
34、nstant temperature,preferably 25C, obtained by use of a constant-temperatureroom or by circulation of constant-temperature water throughthe prisms.9.3 Place the specimen on the prism with the cut edgetoward the light source approximately where the edge of theglass test piece was positioned. Remove t
35、he tissue paper fromthe light source. Press the specimen firmly on the prism bymeans of the finger and wait 1 min for the specimen to attaintemperature equilibrium. It is also permissible to close the3Reagent Chemicals, American Chemical Society Specifications, AmericanChemical Society, Washington,

37、upper prism on the specimen lightly if adequate light can stillbe focused on the end of the specimen. Unless the specimen isvery thin, this operation can damage the prism or its mounting.Adjust the compensating prism until a sharp dividing linebetween light and dark fields with minimum color is obta
38、ined.Test the contact between rubber and prism by pressing the testspecimen against the prism. There should be no change in theposition of the boundary line during this test.9.4 Move the hand control until the boundary line justreaches the crosshairs. (Always move from the light into thedark field.)
39、 Make at least three readings. If the readings differby more than 0.0001 refractive index unit, further readings arenecessary.9.5 Repeat the process of obtaining readings with anotherportion of the sample having a freshly cut edge. Average themean values of the two sets of readings thus obtained. If
40、 thetwo mean values do not differ by more than 0.0002 refractiveindex unit, report the average as the result of the calculations.If necessary, correct the refractive index measurement to 25Cusing the following equation:N255 Nt1 0.00037 t 2 25!

This can be done by using thefollowing equation:S 5 23.50 1 11.64 N252 1.53456! 2 3497 N252 1.53456!2(2)where:S = styrene co

Precision and Bias11.1 The precision results for this standard originally werederived from an interlaboratory test program (ITP) conductedprior to the adoption of Practice D 4483 as the
43、 referenceprecision standard for D11 test methods, and therefore was notconducted according to the guidelines set forth in PracticeD 4483.11.2 The information as given in 11.3 is offered as asubstitute for a regular Practice D 4483 precision section.11.3 Ninety-five percent of the results should not
44、 differ fromthe mean by more than 0.5 % when the rubber is in the boundstyrene range of 20 to 30 %. The accuracy is in the same orderof magnitude as the reproducibility for SBR polymerized at50C. The accuracy for SBR polymerized at 5C is not knownexactly, but it is thought to be within the above pre
45、cision limits.12.
