and 100 mg of it was weighed and sealed into each headspace vial. The
aging times varied from 0 to 248 days. To follow the migration of the
volatile compounds from the materials, air from the vials was analyzed
by headspace–gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (headspace-GC-
MS). To follow the changes on the surface composition of the material
the samples were also analyzed by FTIR.

shift shows that the phosphate plasticizer was oxidized, and in accor-
dance with headspace-GC-MS results this oxidation was faster and more
severe during aging at 80 ˚ C. The original weak band at 1580 cm1
attributed to zinc carboxylates[17–19] broadened and increased in intensity
at the beginning of the thermo-oxidation. However, on prolonged aging
it again decreased and had totally disappeared after 56 days at 80 ˚ C and
after 84 days at 60 ˚ C. Other changes in the FTIR spectra were the for-
mation of new rather strong bands at 1540 cm1 and 1397 cm1 and an
increase in the absorbance at 750 cm1.
In earlier studies, a broad band at 3490 cm1 in the hydroxyl vibration
region of the IR spectra was formed during low-temperature thermo-
oxidation of nitrile rubber[20]. In the carbonyl stretching region, the band
