The modified method gives good reproducibility and accuracy as indicated by elemental analysis. FTIR analysis through the measurement of the intensity ratio of N-H stretching to =CH out-of-plane deformation band provides a rapid method for the quantification of low nitrogen content of purified natural rubber ER -
