Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Provided is an evaluation method capable of evaluating stress on a bond which is difficult to detect by Raman spectroscopy. The present disclosure relates to an evaluation method including using infrared absorption spectra measured on a rubber specimen under application of no tensile force and under application of a tensile force to calculate an amount of peak shift caused by application of the tensile force, and evaluating stress in the rubber specimen from the amount of peak shift.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. An evaluation method, comprising using infrared absorption spectra measured on a rubber specimen under application of no tensile force and under application of a tensile force to calculate an amount of peak shift caused by application of the tensile force, and evaluating stress in the rubber specimen from the amount of peak shift, wherein the rubber specimen comprises a diene rubber, and wherein the infrared absorption spectra are measured in the measurement range of 4,000 to 400 cm −1 . 2. The evaluation method according to claim 1 , wherein the amount of peak shift is used to estimate a location of stress generated in the rubber specimen. 3. The evaluation method according to claim 1 , wherein the amount of peak shift is used to estimate a magnitude of stress generated in the rubber specimen. 4. The evaluation method according to claim 1 , wherein the infrared absorption spectra are measured by transmission Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. 5. The evaluation method according to claim 1 , wherein the rubber specimen has a thickness of 20 μm or less.
