Abstract
A method for evaluating the crosslink concentration in a crosslinked rubber is provided. The present invention relates to a method for evaluating the crosslink concentration in a crosslinked rubber by small-angle X-ray scattering or small-angle neutron scattering using measurement samples prepared by swelling the crosslinked rubber to different degrees of swelling.
Claims1
A method for evaluating crosslink concentration in a crosslinked rubber by small-angle X-ray scattering or small-angle neutron scattering using measurement samples prepared by swelling the crosslinked rubber to different degrees of swelling,
- wherein the swollen crosslinked rubbers are prepared by placing the crosslinked rubber and an arbitrary amount of a solvent together in a hermetically-sealed container to allow the entire crosslinked rubber to be uniformly swollen.
