Significance and Use14.1 See 4.1.14.2 Copper in certain forms is known to catalyze theoxidative breakdown of natural rubber although the mechanismby which degradation is brought about is not fully understood.It is recognized that other forms of copper can be present in therubber even in rela

38、tively large amounts without degradationtaking place, but in these cases there is always the possibilitythat under the influence of some chemicals, notably theunsaturated acids, the copper could assume a more aggressiverole when the rubber is compounded.14.3 It would be advantageous to be able to an

39、alyticallydistinguish between catalytically active and inactive forms ofcopper but no generally accepted method has yet been putforward to doing so. There is no alternative therefore, but todetermine the total amount of copper in the rubber.14.4 Little is known concerning the influence of copper ont
