Abstract
It has been verified that, in a number of cases, thermogravimetric analysis permits quantitative determination and identification of carbon blacks in the free state or in vulcanized compounds. The proper operating conditions can give sufficiently good repeatability and adequate precision for most routine analyses. As is the case in other methods for determining the loading, numerous difficulties were encountered with elastomers which graphitize on heating. However, quantitative analysis of black in nitrile rubbers remains possible, but the identification of different types of black is very difficult. The authors propose to continue this study, particularly into the new families of blacks, primarily into the function of the diameter of their elementary particles and their degree of structure.
