海报摘要

The distribution of the pendant double bond along the molar mass axis impacts the vulcanization behavior of ethylene-propylene-diene (EPDM) terpolymers. Yet, the analysis of this parameter has so far been hampered by the lack of suitable detection methods. Towards this goal we have investigated the potential of Ultraviolet detection for high temperature size exclusion chromatography of EPDM terpolymers containing 5-ethylidene-2-norbornene (ENB), dicyclopentadiene (DCPD), and vinyl norbornene (VNB) as termonomer. The influence of termonomer on the spectroscopic response was probed. EPDM containing ENB showed a significantly stronger UV-absorption compared to terpolymers with VNB and DCPD. An evaporative light scattering detector (ELSD) was employed to monitor the analyte concentration, in combination with the UV detector, to quantitatively measure the distribution of ENB content along the molar mass distribution. This work could be feasible for the other two commercial relevant termonomers DCPD and VNB.
