An additional example for the usefulness of IR spectroscopy in studying drug interactions with phospholipid vesicles is the quantitative determination of acyl chain conformation in gramicidin-DPPC mixtures [63]. The technique provides a quantitative measure of the extent to which membrane-spanning peptides induce disorder of phospholipid gel phases and order in liquid crystalline phases.

Recently, nonliving biomass of S. cucullata has been described as a low-cost absorbent of Cr(VI).106 Optimum conditions for the Cr(VI) adsorption by acid-treated S. cucullata were found out using a full factorial design. The Cr(VI) removal efficiency of the adsorbent was found to increase with the increase in time, temperature, adsorbate concentration, and stirring speed, and to decrease with increase in pH and adsorbent dose. The Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) analysis revealed that in addition to electrostatic force, the adsorption may be due to...

Recently, we reported that an Fe supported zeolite (FeHY-1) shows high activity for acidic reactions such as toluene disproportionation and resid hydrocracking in the presence of H2S [1,2]. Investigations using electron spin resonance (ESR), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), MiJssbauer and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) revealed that superfine ferric oxide cluster interacts with the zeolite framework in the super-cage of Y-type zeolites [3,4]. Furthermore, we reported change in physicochemical properties and catalytic activities for toluene disproportionation during the sample preparation period[5]. It was revealed that the activation of the catalyst was closely related with interaction between the iron cluster and the zeolite framework. In this work, we will report the effect of preparation conditions on the physicochemical properties and activity for toluene disproportionation in the presence of 82. ...

This article will review the impact of two powerful new techniques for characterizing epoxy resins at the molecular level — Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and high resolution nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) of solids. Fortunately, these two techniques are not inhibited appreciably by the insoluble nature of the cured resin. Consequently, substantial structural information at the molecular level can be obtained. In this article, the basis of the methods will be briefly described in order to appreciate the nature of the methods followed by a description of the work on epoxies to date and finally some indication will be given of the anticipated contributions of these methods in the future. 

Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT—IR) has been developing into a viable analytical technique (56). The use of an interferometer requires a computer which increases the cost of the system. The ability of IR to differentiate geometrical isomers is still an advantage of the system, and computer techniques such as signal averaging and background subtraction, improve capabilities for certain analyses. 

Abstract—This study extends previous work on silanized kaolin clays to other substrates, such as aluminum hydroxide. It will also show that high precision quantitative Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR) diffuse reflectance measurements can be performed on this vinyl silanized substrate and predict that other silanized finely divided powders can be analyzed using these techniques. 

Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR) measurements were made using a Nicolet Instruments 740 FT-IR spectrometer. A horizontal attenuated toted reflectance cell equipped with a 45° zinc-selenide crystal trough wets used. Spectra of neat solutions were obtained by co-addition of 256 scans at 4 cm- resolution. 

Several methods have been used to characterize complexes in solid-state. Among the most commonly used methods are differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), x-ray powder diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), and x-ray crystallography. In recent years, the NMR method has showed many utilities (Ficarra et al., 2002 Rajendrakumaret al. 2005 Lantz et al., 2006). 

Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy FT-IR. The measurement of individual degradation products with FT-IR is very simple, quick and precise. A reference sample spectrum of new oil is required to subtract electronically from the oil sample spectrum. The spectra of the fresh oil and the used oil sample are obtained individually in the same cell. The results - both spectra and the "differential" spectrum are stored in the computer in absorbance format, a form that varies linearly with concentration. 

Chemical characterisation of F uptake in archaeological bone has already been developed in the 19th century [1,2] and is now well established [60], However, relatively few studies use a combined multianalytical approach using trace elemental and microstructure analytical techniques (PIXE/PIGE, TEM-EDX) for evidencing modifications on different microscopic and nanoscopic levels (Fourier transform-infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), SEM, TEM) and enabling an objective evaluation of the F uptake mechanisms [32-34,51],... 

Cvi is the number of vinyl groups per chain. The direct observation of the decrease in amplitude of the Fourier Transform-Infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) spectrum of vinyl groups leads to a square root dependence of a(t) on time. The threshold of gelation occurs at a time t0 such that e(t0) is equal to zero. Again, the magnetic relaxation rate is a function of the variable, e (Figure 8.4). 

Spectroscopy has become a powerful tool for the determination of polymer structures. The major part of the book is devoted to techniques that are the most frequently used for analysis of rubbery materials, i.e., various methods of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and optical spectroscopy. One chapter is devoted to (multi) hyphenated thermograviometric analysis (TGA) techniques, i.e., TGA combined with Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), mass spectroscopy, gas chromatography, differential scanning calorimetry and differential thermal analysis. There are already many excellent textbooks on the basic principles of these methods. Therefore, the main objective of the present book is to discuss a wide range of applications of the spectroscopic techniques for the analysis of rubbery materials. The contents of this book are of interest to chemists, physicists, material scientists and technologists who seek a better understanding of rubbery materials. 

For molecular properties of the TAG polymorphs, local molecular structural information such as methyl-end group, olefinic conformation, and chain-chain interaction are unveiled by infrared (IR) spectroscopy, especially Fourier-transformed infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) (23, 24). Compared with a pioneering work by Chapman (25), great progress has been achieved by using various FT-IR techniques, such as polarized transmission FT-IR, reflection absorption spectroscopy (RAS), and attenuated total reflection (ATR) (26-28).

Characterization of catalysts The zeolite structure was checked by X-ray diffraction patterns recorded on a CGR Theta 60 instrument using Cu Ka, filtered radiation. The chemical composition of the catalysts was determined by atomic absorption analysis after dissolution of the sample (SCA-CNRS, Solaize, France). Micropore volumes were measured by N2 adsorption at 77 K using a Micromeritics ASAP 2000 apparatus and by adsorption of cyclohexane (at P/Po=0.15) using a microbalance apparatus SET ARAM SF 85. Incorporation of tetrahedral cobalt (II) in the framework of Co-Al-BEA and Co-B-BEA was confirmed by electronic spectroscopy [18] using a Perkin Elmer Lambda 14 UV-visible diffuse reflectance spectrophotometer. Acidity measurements were performed by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR, Nicolet FTIR 320) after pyridine adsorption. Self-supported wafer of pure zeolite (20 mg/cm ) was outgassed at 673 K for 6 hours at a pressure of lO Pa. After cooling at 423 K, the zeolite was saturated with pyridine vapour (30 kPa) for 5 min, evacuated at this temperature for 30 min and the IR spectrum was recorded. 

Atomic Adsorption Spectroscopy (AAS) of aluminum and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR) of both samples indicate that there must exist a large amount of EFA species in the zeolite (Tab. 1). By measuring the outer T-O-T stretching frequency, we can calculate with help from the equations disclosed in [10] that only about one Al atom per unit cell is incorporated into the zeolite framework of catalyst B (Tab. 5). On the other hand, our experimental results derived from Al-AAS show that hypothetically a higher number, i.e. altogether four Al atoms, could be present in the unit cell on the assumption that all Al is incorporated in the framework. This difference tells us that most of the aluminum must exist in form of EFA. 

Spectroscopic methods, such as fluorescence recovery and quenching, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), and light reflection technique have been used for studies of adsorbed proteins (for example Burghardt Axelrod 1981, Thompson et al. 1981, van Wagenen et al. 1982), and surfactant adsorption layers (for example Ldsche et al. 1983, L6sche Mohwald 1989, Daillant et al. 1991, Henon Meunier 1992, Mohwald 1993). Considerable progress has been made in recent years with respect to the sensitivity of detectors and the efficiency of computers, so that the power of these methods has increased remarkably. 

Ceckiewicz studied the methanol conversion between 25 and 400 C on zeolite H-T (SiOj/AljOj molar ratio of 7.4) with different degrees of decationization and dealumination. By Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) he found that CH3OH molecules interact principally with the most active 3,600 cm OH groups corresponding to Al-OH bonds. No transformation of methanol occurred at 25 C. The dehydration of methanol to dimethyl ether was the most important reaction between 200 and 300 C. The conversion of methanol to hydrocarbons was evident at temperatures higher than 300 C. The conversion of methanol was less than 100% in all the cases. After... 

Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy ( C CP/MAS Solid State NMR) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) were also performed for the freeze dried NOM sample. The results were both very noisy and paramagnetic compounds such as iron and manganese interfered with the - C NMR analysis. After 20 h of run time the sample showed mostly alkyl and alkyl-oxygen carbon, thus very little aromatic compounds.
