An ASTM method was used to determine the methyl content of linear polyethylene SRM 1475 by measuring the absorbance at 1378 cm (7.25 nm) of methyl groups on compensated infrared spectra. The methyl content of this polymer was found to be 0.15 methyls per 100 carbon atoms. Considering the methyls to be polymer end groups, the number average molecular weight computed approximates that determined by gel permeation chromatography within the experimental error. These values indicate that the polymer is essentially free of branching.
采用美国材料与试验协会(ASTM)的一种方法,通过测量补偿红外光谱上甲基在1378厘米(7.25纳米)处的吸光度来测定线性聚乙烯标准参考物质1475的甲基含量。发现该聚合物的甲基含量为每100个碳原子含0.15个甲基。将甲基视为聚合物端基,计算得到的数均分子量在实验误差范围内近似于凝胶渗透色谱法测定的值。这些数值表明该聚合物基本无支化。
