Solid-State 13C NMR Characterization of Irradiation-Cross-Linked Natural Rubber

Abstract

Solid-state <sup>13</sup>C NMR was used to characterize the structure changes produced in gamma irradiation in natural rubber. The structure of the irradiated natural rubber was found to be heterogeneous, consisting of a mobile phase and a semi-rigid phase. Cis-trans chain isomerization was detected in the mobile phase of the gamma-irradiated samples. The CP/MAS spectra of the more rigid phase contained resonances due to quaternary carbons arising from cross-links and vinyl end groups caused by main chain scission. The calculated values of β and <i>G(X)</i> agreed with earlier published results. Peroxide-cured natural rubber of an equivalent amount of network density showed a higher amount of trans structure than did the gamma-irradiated natural rubber.
