Abstract
IN view of the considerable technical importance of isoprene, butadiene and chloroprene, as the hydrocarbons which on polymerization give natural and synthetic rubber, some interest is attached to the study of their structure. At normal temperatures they are in the liquid or gaseous state, and as it is possible to make exact X-ray structure measurements only in the solid state, the substances have been examined at liquid nitrogen and liquid oxygen temperatures, in a Debye-Scherrer camera, of radius 57 mm., employing a simple technique developed in the Davy Faraday Research Laboratory. Exposures of 30–90 minutes at 100 ma. were given.
