The Structure of Acrylonitrile-Butadiene Rubbers: Paramagnetic-Probe Study

Authors: 

Nadezhda Livanova, Svetlana Karpova and Gennady Zaikov

Chain microstructures and supramolecular structures of nitrile- butadiene rubbers are studied by ESR spectroscopy. On the temperature dependences of the rotational mobility (correlation time τc) of paramagnetic probe 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-1-oxyl, relaxation transitions are observed. It is shown that there is a correlation between the Arrhenius parameters of rotational mobility of radical and the copolymer composition and that different brands of rubbers differ in microstructure and supramolecular structure.
