38、and after exposure to 5000 hour Xenon Arc weatherometer (SAE J1960, modified with type “S“ borosilicate inner and outer filters, 0.55 W/m2 radiant exposure). Evaluate the topcoat photooxidation stability using Fourier Transform Infrared Photo-Acoustic Spectroscopy (FTIR-PAS). Obtain spectra of the s

39、urface layer of topcoat, approximately the top 7 micron, experimentally defined as the photo-acoustic sampling depth by modulation at 3 kHz at 3000 wavenumbers in a rapid-scan FTIR-PAS experiment or 3 kHz phase modulation in a step-scan FTIR-PAS experiment. The reference material, used to obtain the

40、 Relative PAS Intensity spectrum, should be a polymer filled with carbon black to at least 50% for a rapid-scan experiment and to at least 65% for a step-scan experiment. Compression set rubber works best. Resolution - laser sampling at every second laser crossing, 4000 data points, 8K transform, tr

41、iangle apodization, phase corrected. Noise (definition) - root mean square(rms) noise in 3600 - 2500 wavenumbers region based on two carbon black filled polymer background spectra, ratioed to obtain 100% Relative PAS Intensity line. Noise limit - 0.75% rms, Relative PAS Intensity. 100% line - flat f

42、rom 4000 - 2000 wavenumbers, +/- 10% Determine the ratio of the integrated intensity of the O-H plus N-H stretching region to that of the C-H stretching region, i.e. (-OH,-NH)/CH, on a retain and 5000 hour exposed sample. Integrate the intensity under the PAS spectrum (between the spectrum and the b

43、aseline) between 3700 and 2200 wavenumbers (the entire -OH,-NH,-CH stretch region). Integrate the intensity under the PAS spectrum between 3125 and 2750 wavenumbers (the -CH stretch region). Subtract the -CH area from the total area to obtain the (-OH,-NH) area. Divide the (-OH,-NH) area by the -CH

44、area to obtain the (-OH,-NH)/CH area. Subtract (-OH,-NH)/CH at time zero from (-OH,-NH)/CH at 5000 hour exposure to provide the change in the ratio (-OH,-NH)/CH. Report the change in ratio (-OH,-NH)/CH as the photooxidation value. Note: Absorbed water contributes strongly to the (-OH,-NH) area and r

45、esults in a false measure of polymer based OH, NH photooxidation products. Therefore, it is important to remove samples at the end of a dry, light cycle of the weatherometer before FTIR-PAS evaluation.
