2、r oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope*1.1 This practice covers infrared procedures for determini

3、ngthe molecular structural features in polyolefins and polyolefincopolymers. The structural features of primary concern are thetypes and numbers of branches. Although this practice centersits attention on polyolefins and polyolefin copolymers, thetechniques, with proper modification, can be used for

4、 someother polymers as well.NOTE 1Quantitative determinations require either an internal or anexternal evaluation of sample thickness.ASTM test methods available forspecific features are listed in Tables 1 and 2.1.2 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associa

Applythe full press pressure at

23、 a temperature approximately 50Cabove the melting point of the polymer for 1 min or until allexudation ceases.9.1.2.7 Turn off the heat, turn on the cooling water, andallow the sample to press quench at full pressure until thetemperature drops below 50C (or cool enough to remove themold assembly by
