Abstract

The growing capabilities of FTIR spectrometers and computers have opened the use of new sample preparation techniques in infrared spectroscopy. In addition to the established KBr pellet technique and ATR spectroscopy, diffuse reflectance and photoacoustic spectroscopy are increasing in importance. A systematic experimental comparison of these techniques has been made in order to make proper use of their mutual advantages.
