%0 Journal Article %T Analysis of the Absorption Spectra of Styrene-butadiene in Toluene %A Mahasin F. Hadi Al-Kadhemy %A Raad Hussein %A Ali A. Dawood Al-Zuky %J Journal of Physical Science %D 2012 %I %X The absorption spectra of styrene-butadiene in toluene at varying concentrations (0.1¨C0.6 wt%) were studied, and a theoretical model for these spectra was estimated. A blue shift towards a shorter wavelength of approximately 31.64 nm was observed as the concentration was increased. A theoretical model of the effect of concentration on the absorption spectra of styrene-butadiene in toluene was estimated utilising the "Table Curve 2D, version 5.01" program. This theoretical model was then applied to the test concentration of 0.45 wt% styrene-butadiene in toluene, which had not been measured experimentally. A good agreement for the wavelength values and appearance of the overall spectra was observed between the experimental and predicted spectra. %K Styrene-butadiene %K absorption spectrum %K concentration effect %K theoretical model %U http://web.usm.my/jps/23-1-12/23.1.8.pdf
