Analysis of Black Rubber Diaphragm by FTIR and EDX

From Shimadzu Scientific Instruments, Inc.
 

 

Qualitative analysis of rubber can be conducted quickly and easily using ATR measurement. With this technique, an infrared spectrum is easily obtained for qualitative analysis by affixing a rubber sample to the surface of an ATR prism. However, the composition of elements in a rubber sample can also be analyzed easily and quickly, and further, non-destructively by EDX (energy dispersive X-Ray fluorescence spectrometry). In this note, both techniques are examined.
