“…This problem has been discussed in detail in a monograph [96] and reviews [94,102,122]; conditions affecting the accuracy of the results have been examined [395,547,712], We will only examine one problem that is typical of polymer chemistry, namely, the determination of the composition of copolymers. Figure 163 gives the spectrum of a copolymer of tetrafluoroethylene with hexafluoropropylene [716], recorded at 310°C, i.e., somewhat higher than the melting point of the crystallites. The ratio of the areas of the signals from the CF 3 and CF 2 groups corresponds to a content of 9 ± 1.5 mol.% of hexafluoropropylene.…”
