Analysis of Black Rubber Diaphragm by FTIR and EDX

Qualitative analysis of rubber can be conducted quickly and easily using ATR measurement. With this technique, an infrared spectrum is easily obtained for qualitative analysis by affixing a rubber sample to the surface of an ATR prism. However, the composition of elements in a rubber sample
can also be analyzed easily and quickly, and further, nondestructively by EDX (energy dispersive X-Ray fluorescence spectrometry).
