The chemical polymerization of Py by CAN in PU solutions leads to the formation of PU/PPy composites. The composites were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectrophotometry-attenuated total reflectance (FTIR-ATR], dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA], thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA], differential scanning calorimetry (DSC], X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS], and SEM measurements. The absorbances of the disordered H-bonded urethane carbonyl decrease with increasing Py concentration. The fraction of the hydrogen-bonded carbonyls is increased and the melting point increases with the increase of PPy content. These indicate the incorporation of PPy into PU may cause the complex due to the intermolecular interaction between the PPy and PU. SEM images of composite nanofibers show good distribution of the second component and the composite solution is proper to form conductive composite nanofibers. 

While infrared spectrophotometry is most useful for the qualitative analysis of surfactants, various quantitative methods have been developed for well-characterized systems. For example, an attenuated total reflectance cell with a ZnSe crystal is useful for direct analysis of aqueous anionic surfactant solutions by FTIR, while avoiding the deleterious effects of water on the usual transmission cells. In this case, the sulfonate absorbance at 1175 cm" , or the sulfate absorbance at 1206-1215 cm , is used for quantification (10,26). In another application, the weak absorption bands in the 1429-1333 cm" region are used to measure the relative amounts of linear and branched chain alkylbenzene sulfonates extracted from environmental waters (27). This is the one advantage of the infrared technique over those that have supplanted it for wastewater analysis its ability to differentiate the straight and branched chain compounds (28). No procedure will be given here, since the cleanup prior to IR analysis can be handled adequately by the method for LAS analysis by desulfona-tion/gas chromatography, described in Chapter 8. 

In modern times, most analyses are performed on an analytical instrument for, e.g., gas chromatography (GC), high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), ultra-violet/visible (UV) or infrared (IR) spectrophotometry, atomic absorption spectrometry, inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS), mass spectrometry. Each of these instruments has a limitation on the amount of an analyte that they can detect. This limitation can be expressed as the IDL, which may be defined as the smallest amount of an analyte that can be reliably detected or differentiated from the background on an instrument. 

In addition to ultraviolet and visible spectrophotometry, various other methods can be used to study the complexes cryoscopy, differential vapour pressure measurements, and infrared absorption spectrometry. , P25i- 256...

The availability of such instrumental techniques as X-ray powder diffraction, differential thermal analysis, electron micrography, and infrared absorption spectrophotometry, together with refinements in measurements of surface properties, particularly since 1950, has improved methods of defining allophane. It is, therefore, necessary to consider the nature of the evidence of these and other techniques with respect to forms of allophane occurring in soils, in order to appreciate the range of soil properties conferred by this material.
