Summary
The potential of the micro-Fourier Transform Raman tool in examining specific localized regions in polymeric materials with some degree of fluorescence when analyzed by conventional Raman spectroscopy is examined. Analysis of characteristic bands of the vibrational spectra obtained in a small area damaged by a visible and NIR laser beam in commercial Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) shows a different conformer ratio than that observed in a non irradiated zone.
