Most hydrocarbon resins are composed of a mixture of monomers and are rather difficult to hiUy characterize on a molecular level. The characteristics of resins are typically defined by physical properties such as softening point, color, molecular weight, melt viscosity, and solubiHty parameter. These properties predict performance characteristics and are essential in designing resins for specific appHcations. Actual characterization techniques used to define the broad molecular properties of hydrocarbon resins are Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ftir), nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (nmr), and differential scanning calorimetry (dsc). 

In this chapter, three methods for measuring the frequencies of the vibrations of chemical bonds between atoms in solids are discussed. Two of them, Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy, FTIR, and Raman Spectroscopy, use infrared (IR) radiation as the probe. The third, High-Resolution Electron Enetgy-Loss Spectroscopy, HREELS, uses electron impact. The fourth technique. Nuclear Magnetic Resonance, NMR, is physically unrelated to the other three, involving transitions between different spin states of the atomic nucleus instead of bond vibrational states, but is included here because it provides somewhat similar information on the local bonding arrangement around an atom. 

In the following, some examples of applications of Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) Spectroscopy and of solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) to the study of polymorphism in polymers are described.

The basic methods of the identification and study of matrix-isolated intermediates are infrared (IR), ultraviolet-visible (UV-vis), Raman and electron spin resonance (esr) spectroscopy. The most widely used is IR spectroscopy, which has some significant advantages. One of them is its high information content, and the other lies in the absence of overlapping bands in matrix IR spectra because the peaks are very narrow (about 1 cm ), due to the low temperature and the absence of rotation and interaction between molecules in the matrix. This fact allows the identification of practically all the compounds present, even in multicomponent reaetion mixtures, and the determination of vibrational frequencies of molecules with high accuracy (up to 0.01 cm when Fourier transform infrared spectrometers are used).

Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy was performed oj a Nicolet 10DX spectrometer. Nuclear magnetic resonance ( H) characterization was accomplished using an IBM 270 SL. Both techniques can successfully be utilized to analyze both the diblock precursors as well as the derived acid containing polymers. 

With recent developments in analytical instrumentation these criteria are being increasingly fulfilled by physicochemical spectroscopic approaches, often referred to as whole-organism fingerprinting methods.910 Such methods involve the concurrent measurement of large numbers of spectral characters that together reflect the overall cell composition. Examples of the most popular methods used in the 20th century include pyrolysis mass spectrometry (PyMS),11,12 Fourier transform-infrared spectrometry (FT-IR), and UV resonance Raman spectroscopy.16,17 The PyMS technique... 

Several modem analytical instruments are powerful tools for the characterisation of end groups. Molecular spectroscopic techniques are commonly employed for this purpose. Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and mass spectrometry (MS), often in combination, can be used to elucidate the end group structures for many polymer systems more traditional chemical methods, such as titration, are still in wide use, but employed more for specific applications, for example, determining acid end group levels. Nowadays, NMR spectroscopy is usually the first technique employed, providing the polymer system is soluble in organic solvents, as quantification of the levels of... 

Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, 13C nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, ultraviolet-visible (UV-VIS) and fluorescence spectroscopy can be integrated with chromatographic techniques especially in the study of ageing and degradation of terpenic materials. They can be used to study the transformation, depletion or formation of specific functional groups in the course of ageing.

NMR spectrum. Fourier transform nuclear magnetic resonance (FTNMR) instruments, which are similar in principle to Fourier transform infrared spectrometry (FTIR) instruments, are popular today. We will briefly describe these instruments later in this section. 

Final justification for using terms such as inner- or outer-sphere awaits direct spectroscopic confirmation. Electron Spin Resonance, Mossbauer, and Fourier Transform Infrared-Cylindrical Internal Reflection Spectroscopic techniques are being used to establish the structure of surface complexes (see, e.g., McBride, Ambe et al., and Zeltner et al., this volume). The potential for using EXAFS (extended x-ray absorption fine structure) to establish the type of surface complex for Pb + adsorbing onto goethite is currently being undertaken in our laboratory.
