Abstract
AbstractThe amino end groups in polyamide 6 and 6,6 were reacted in a water/methylcellosolve/propionic acid/sodium propionate/pyridine/isopropanol system for 30 min at 100°C with ninhydrin to give a dye (λmax : 570 nm, ϵ570 : 18.6 · 103 cm2 mol−1), whose photometrically determinable concentration represented a measure of the amino end group content. Although the polymer remained undissolved during the analysis, the reaction proceeded quantitatively in all the samples studied (fibres with a maximum fineness of 44 dtex, corresponding to a diameter of 70 μm). ϵ‐Aminocaproic acid served as a low‐molecular calibration substance for the polymer.On account of its simplicity, rapidity, and good reproducibility (variation coefficient 3.4%), the ninhydrin method is suitable for the serial determination of the amino end groups in polyamide 6 and 6,6.
