High yield NMR, FY86-2: Quarterly report

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6953402

Several analytical methods were investigated this quarter. The previously developed method for determining the percent vinyl and phenyl in silicones has been modified, because it was discovered that the silicone gums are not perfectly homogeneous. Standards having a known vinyl and phenyl content were analyzed to confirm the accuracy of the NMR method. In addition, a high temperature carbon-13 NMR analysis of high strength, low density polymethylpentene (TPX) polymer was performed. A solder flux used on several programs was analyzed and the activator was identified as the hydrochloric acid (HCl) salt of glutamic acid. The reactions that occur in the model epoxy system, phenyl glycidyl ether plus dicyandiamide (DICY), plus boron trifluoride monoethylamine (BF/sub 3/-MEA) were investigated. The solvent carriers in two epoxies were identified. An alkaline cleaner was analyzed and a method was developed to estimate changes in detergent concentration. Methods based on carbon-13 NMR were developed to test the purity of organic compounds. 7 refs., 10 figs., 5 tabs.
