Stability and transformation products of rubber derived compounds under various storage conditions
Abstract
does not prevent transformation of PPDs at relevant concentrations. Six compounds that showed loss during the targeted study were investigated using high resolution mass spectrometry to determine what transformations were occurring. Transformations for 2,2,4-trimethyl-2,4-hydroquinoline primarily formed 2,4-dimethylquinoline while 4-ADPA, 4sDPA, and HMMM involved a breakdown of the parent compound. Interestingly, MBT showed negligible loss indicating that the previous degradation was due to inter-compound interactions rather than the solvent they are stored in. Finally, the 31 standard mix was investigated using high resolution mass spectrometry with 91 unique features identified whose formations likely originate from reactions between RDCs. These results showcase the degradation and transformations that can occur for samples awaiting analysis under various storage conditions.
