8、0.4. Summary of Test Method4.1 The band at 965 cm1is characteristic of the trans-vinylene substituted group. The band at 908 cm1is character-istic of the terminal vinyl group.4.2 These bands are not seriously overlapped by interferinggroups from the polymer. The vinyl absorbance at 908 cm1isclose to

9、 the absorbance band from terminal methyl groups onchains longer than ethyl, at 895 cm1. This interference isminimal for most products. Inclusion of the bromination andspectral subtraction step from Test Method D 3124 mayimprove the results for very low density products.4.3 Integrated absorbance is

10、used in this test method.Integrated absorbance is found by integrating the spectrumover the absorbance band when the spectrum is plotted asabsorbance versus frequency, in cm1. Most spectral manipu-lation software contains algorithms for adequately determiningbaseline corrected integrated absorbencie

11、s.4.4 Calibration is performed using a solution of 1-octene fornormal vinyl groups, and trans-3-hexene for trans-vinylenegroups.5. Significance and Use5.1 There are three types of olefinic groups present insufficient concentrations to warrant consideration, one or moreof that can normally be found i

12、n any polyethylene. The threetypes are trans-vinylene, R-CH=CH-R8, sometimes referred toas trans-internal unsaturation; vinylidene or pendent methyl-ene, RR8C-CH2; and vinyl unsaturation, R-CH=CH2, alsoreferred to as terminal unsaturation.1This test method is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee

Informationconcerning their presence may also be used to characterize oridentify unknown resins or blends of resins.5.3 Additives may interfere with unsaturation measure-ments. The use is cautioned to det

16、ermine which additives arepresent and if there any absorbance bands caused by additivepresence that overlap or interfere with unsaturation absorbancebands used in this test method in the range of 1050 to 850 cm1.If overlapping bands occur, the method is not applicable.5.4 Interference fringes result
