Infrared spectroscopy is widely used in the analysis and characterization of polymers. Polymer products are not a singular species, but rather, they are a population of polymer molecules varying in composition and configuration plus other added components. This paper describes instrumentation that provides the benefit or resolving polymer populations into discrete identifiable entities, by combining chromatographic separation with continuous spectra acquisition. The technology also provides a way to determine the mass distribution of discrete components across the chromatographic distribution of a sample. Various examples of application of this technology to polymer products are described. Examples include additives analysis, resolution of polymer blends, composition characterization of copolymers, analysis of degradation byproducts, and techniques of analysis of reactive polymer systems.

ABSTRACTFourier Transform infrared spectroscopy has been employed to study the shells of two kind of mollusks, American oysters (Crassostrea virginica) and mussels (Ischadium recurvum). It is shown that it is possible to distinguish the different calcium carbonate lattice vibrations in each case, mussel shells present aragonite vibration frequencies, and the oyster shells present those corresponding to calcite. The superposition, shift and broadening of the infrared bands are discussed. Changes in the vibration modes due to successive thermal treatments are also reported.
