Prediction of Cross-Link Density of Prevulcanized Latex Using InGaAs NIR Spectroscopy

Abstract

values of 0.96 and 0.95, respectively. Comparable performance between contact and noncontact instruments further confirmed the practicality of noncontact NIR measurement. This work demonstrates, for the first time, that combining InGaAs NIR spectroscopy with process variables enables accurate, rapid, and nondestructive forecasting of TSI-based cross-link density for PV latex manufacturing.
