Fourier transform near-infrared Raman spectrometry

Fourier transform near-infrared spectroscopy had been used to determine traces of hydroxy and carboxy functional groups and water in polyesters. Bowden and co-workers [25] monitored the degradation of PVC using Raman microline focus spectrometry. They demonstrated that PVC decomposition is accompanied by the formation of modal polyene chains containing 11-12 or 13-19 double bonds. Bloor [26] has discussed the Fourier transform Raman spectroscopy of polydiacetylenes. Koenig [27] discusses results obtained by the application of infrared and Raman spectroscopy to polymers.

In Chapters 2 to 8 we describe the theory and instrumentation needed for an appreciation of the way that Fourier transform infrared and Raman spectra are measured today. The sampling techniques for and applications of FT-Raman spectrometry are described in Chapter 18. The remaining chapters cover the techniques and applications of absorption, reflection, emission, and photoacoustic spectrometry in the mid- and near-infrared spectral regions.
