Abstract

Swollen state 13C spectroscopy has been used to study vulcanised blends of natural rubber/ nitrile rubber and natural rubber/epoxidised natural rubber both qualitatively and quantitatively. The results obtained show that although the polymers present can be identified and the individual polymers characterised in terms of their co-polymer composition (i.e. the nitrile and epoxide levels determined) the use of this technique to determine the actual blend composition is unsatisfactory. The reasons for the deviations of the results obtained from the true values are discussed.
