This chapter describes the basic principle, recent developments, and selected applications of some commonly used experimental techniques (i.e., optical microscopy, electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy, nuclear magnetic resonance, diffraction and scattering (X-ray, neutron, and light), and differential scanning calorimetry) for characterization of semicrystalline polymers. Many excellent reviews for each technique and their usage exist, and the listed references only represent the exem-...

Information on physical parameters of the molecular structure of polyamide fibers are usually obtained by x-ray diffraction methods, electron and light microscopies, infrared spectroscopy, thermal analyses such as differential thermal analysis, differential scanning calorimetry, and thermomechanical analysis, electron spin resonance, and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. X-ray diffraction provides detailed information on the molecular and fine structures of polyamide fibers. Although the diffraction patterns of polyamide fibers show wide variation, they exhibit usually three distinct regions ... 

TLC remains one of the most widely used techniques for a simple and rapid qualitative separation. The combination of TLC with spectroscopic detection techniques, such as FTIR or nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), is a very attractive approach to analyze polymer additives. Infrared microscopy is a powerful technique that combines the imaging capabUities of optical microscopy with the chemical analysis abilities of infrared spectroscopy. FTIR microscopy allows obtaining of infrared spectra from microsized samples. Offline TLC-FTIR microscopy was used to analyze a variety of commercial antioxidants and light stabilizers. Transferring operation and identification procedure by FTIR takes about 20 min. However, the main drawbacks of TLC-FTIR are that TLC is a time-consuming technique and usually needs solvent mixtures, which makes TLC environmentally unsound, analytes must be transferred for FTIR analysis, and TLC-FTIR cannot be used for quantifying purposes.
