Is there a fast, reliable and economic test to measure the level of devulcanization (crosslink density) in a rubber that has been devulcanized? The only ASTM we have found (D6814) is unreliable because it is highly operator dependent. Is there another ASTM or other test that will be fast and reliable in assessing the level of devulcanization? Please help!
