We have used 1 H NMR spectroscopy to study commercial samples of chloro-substituted and bromo-substituted butyl rubbers. We propose calculation formulas for quantitative determination of the main forms in halobutyl rubber (1,4-isoprene, exo form) and its characteristics: unsaturation level, halogen content in the isoprene units. We show that it is possible to determine the main structural characteristics of bromobutyl rubber in the presence of fi ller.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
