Abstract
Abstract The application of FF Raman spectroscopy in the field of elastomers has been reviewed. FT Raman spectra of various natural and synthetic elastomers are presented to illustrate both the advantages and the limitations of the technique. Carbon black and some oils, when compounded with natural and synthetic elastomers, prevent the acquisition of useful Raman spectra. However, all other commercial samples studied produced excellent spectra in the raw and vulcanized states without any sample pre-treatment. This has allowed quantitative work on blends and isomeric elastomers and also the direct study of the rubber vulcanization process. Future developments of the technique are discussed.
