Abstract

Blends of emulsion SBR (E-SBR) and solution SBR (S-SBR) were prepared, and their microstructures (styrene, 1,2-unit, cis-1,4-unit, and trans-1,4-unit contents) were analyzed by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) with transmittance mode. Method to measure absorbance by valley-to-valley baseline (TV) is objectively reasonable, but has a demerit which peak intensity of the cis-1,4-unit cannot be correctly measured. In order to obtain information for the four microstructures including cis-1,4-unit, measurement methods without correction (TM) and correction to 99% transmittance (TB) were compared to the TV method. Results obtained by the TB method were closer to those obtained by the TV one than those obtained by the TM. The microstructures were determined from the absorbances obtained by the TM and TB methods according to the ISO/FDIS 21561:2005(E). Variations of the styrene, 1,2-unit, and trans-1,4-unit contents with the blend ratio of E-SBR/S-SBR showed relatively good linearities, and there was no big difference between results obtained by the TM and TB methods. Variations of the cis-1,4-unit content with the blend ratio absolutely did not show linearities irrespective of the TM and TB methods.

유화중합 SBR (E-SBR)과 용액중합 SBR (S-SBR) 블렌드를 제조하여 이들의 미세구조(styrene, 1,2-unit, cis-1,4-unit, 그리고 trans-1,4-unit 함량)를 투과 방식 휴리에 변환 적외선 분광법(FTIR)을 이용하여 분석하였다. Valley-to-valley 바탕선으로 흡광도를 측정하는 방법(TV)이 객관적으로 가장 타당한 방법이나 cis-1,4-unit의 피크 세기를 정확히 측정할 수 없는 단점이 있다. cis-1,4-Unit이 포함된 4가지 미세구조에 대한 정보를 얻기 위해, 바탕선을 보정하지 않은 방법(TM)과 최대 투과도를 99%로 조정한 방법(TB)을 TV 방법과 비교하였다. TB 방법으로 구한 결과가 TM 방법으로 구한 결과보다 TV 방법으로 구한 결과와 좀 더 가깝게 나타났다. TM 방법과 TB 방법으로 구한 흡광도를 ISO/FDIS 21561:2005(E)에 제시한 계산식을 이용하여 미세구조 함량을 결정하였다. E-SBR/S-SBR 블렌드 비에 따른 styrene, 1,2-unit, 그리고 trans-1,4-unit 함량의 변화는 비교적 선형성을 보였으며, TM 방법과 TB 방법으로 얻은 결과에는 큰 차이가 없었다. cis-1,4-Unit 함량의 변화는 TM 방법과 TB 방법에 상관없이 직선성이 전혀 나타나지 않았다.
