Infrared Spectra Correlation of Plastics and Resins

  • Abram Davis
Chapter

Abstract

Many methods, both chemical and physical, have been used for identification and characterization of polymers. In polymer analysis, as in many other types of analysis, the return in information for a given effort is greater for infrared spectroscopy than for almost any other single analytical method. Infrared not only serves to identify a commercial polymer or copolymer, but often yields both qualitative and quantitative information as to additives, plasticizers, fillers, and cross-linking agents.
