This study investigates the potential use of attenuated total internal reflection-Fourier transform infrared (ATR-FT- IR) imaging, a hyperspectral imaging modality, to investigate molecular level trends in the interaction of water with polymeric surfaces of varying hydrophobicity. The hydrophobicity of two categories of polymeric biomaterials is characterised using contact angle (CA) measurements and their relationship with the band area of the OH stretching νs vibration of water over time is presented. This is supported with correlations between CA data and single wavenumber intensity values (univariate analysis). Multivariate analysis of the spectra captured at the OH stretch for all polymers is carried out using principal component analysis to study the spatial variation in the interaction between the polymeric surfaces and water. Finally, a comparison between the univariate and multivariate strategies is presented to understand the interaction between polymeric biomaterials and water. This is a corrected version of the original paper; this corrected version was published on 15 May 2017. Please see Erratum at https://doi.org/10.1255/jsi.2017.a3e.

Over the past several years many developments have taken place in the field of molecular spectroscopy. For Raman spectroscopy many of the improvements have arisen from technological innovations that include diode-based lasers, holographic notch filters and charged coupled detectors. In contrast, a majority of the developments in infrared spectroscopy have been in the area of new sampling accessories. A major emphasis has been placed on attenuated total internal reflection (ATR) accessories. The devices are allowing infrared spectroscopy to be employed in process control environments and quality control laboratories where the method is not only robust but has the advantages of limited sample preparation and/or in situ analysis.In the realm of microspectroscopy, ATR accessories have the added advantages of providing better spatial resolution, equal to or higher S/N for equivalent sample size compared to transmission measurements and most importantly the ability to collect spectra of small samples without the adverse effect of diffraction. One accessory which was developed several years ago is known as the Split-Pea.
