Abstract

The use of Fourier-transform infrared attenuated total reflectance (ATR) spectroscopy to depth profile Merino wool fibres has been investigated. The results obtained from untreated fibres are compared to those obtained from polyamide fibres. Second order derivatives were used to assist in data analysis. The use of ATR depth profiling to study the near surface chemistry of oxidation reactions is also demonstrated.
