Abstract
AbstractA novel method has been elaborated for the determination of small amounts of ozone in air by chain scissioning of polymer films due to the high reactivity of ozone.The proposed method has a sensitivity limit for high molecular weight of polystyrene (M̄v = 1.8 × 106) of 2 p.p.m. of ozone in air. However, a butyl rubber (M̄v = 5.62 × 105, 1.75% by weight of isoprene) has a lower sensitivity limit of 0.02 p.p.m. ± 20% at 35°C and 24 hours reaction time. The latter can be decreased considerably if higher temperatures are used. Still lower sensitivity limits could be in principle attained with butyl rubber of longer chain length and higher isoprene content.
