Abstract In this paper, x-ray diffraction patterns and data for rubber compounding ingredients are presented and applied to the identification of major crystalline ingredients in several basic rubber stock types. Methods for the identification of natural and synthetic elastomers by low temperature aging and (or) stretching, using film techniques, are described. The extension of such methods to the Geiger counter x-ray spectrometer is presented and discussed.
