Vibrational spectroscopy

  • Chapter
Polymer Characterisation

Abstract

The intention in this chapter is to provide the reader with a balanced picture of the complementary roles of Raman and infrared spectroscopy in polymer characterisation. The emphasis chosen is towards practical applications, particularly those of significant industrial or analytical relevance. An attempt has been made to target as wide a range as possible, and to give examples of the many chemical and physical characterisations regularly undertaken. In doing this the intention is to provide as well exampled and referenced a text as could reasonably be accommodated, and to have provided those interested in more detail with a short route to important texts. Unfortunately, space constraints have inevitably necessitated the omission of certain important classes of materials such as biomolecules and conducting polymers.
