A comprehensive review of compositional and failure analysis of polymers, which includes many further examples of analysis of contaminants, inclusions, chemical attack, degradation, etc., was published in 2000 [2], It includes details on methodologies, sampling, and sample preparation, and microscopy, infrared spectroscopy, and thermal analysis techniques. 

The use of solid state NMR for the investigation of polymorphism is easily understood based on the following model. If a compound exists in two, true polymorphic forms, labeled as A and B, each crystalline form is conformationally different. This means for instance, that a carbon nucleus in form A may be situated in a slightly different molecular geometry compared with the same carbon nucleus in form B. Although the connectivity of the carbon nucleus is the same in each form, the local environment may be different. Since the local environment may be different, this leads to a different chemical shift interaction for each carbon, and ultimately, a different isotropic chemical shift for the same carbon atom in the two different polymorphic forms. If one is able to obtain pure material for the two forms, analysis and spectral assignment of the solid state NMR spectra of the two forms can lead to the origin of the conformational differences in the two polymorphs. Solid state NMR is thus an important tool in conjunction with thermal analysis, optical microscopy, infrared (IR) spectroscopy, and powder... 

An introductory manual that explains the basic concepts of chemistry behind scientific analytical techniques and that reviews their application to archaeology. It explains key terminology, outlines the procedures to be followed in order to produce good data, and describes the function of the basic instrumentation required to carry out those procedures. The manual contains chapters on the basic chemistry and physics necessary to understand the techniques used in analytical chemistry, with more detailed chapters on atomic absorption, inductively coupled plasma emission spectroscopy, neutron activation analysis, X-ray fluorescence, electron microscopy, infrared and Raman spectroscopy, and mass spectrometry. Each chapter describes the operation of the instruments, some hints on the practicalities, and a review of the application of the technique to archaeology, including some case studies. With guides to further reading on the topic, it is an essential tool for practitioners, researchers, and advanced students alike. 

Characterization is the foundahon for the development and commercialization of new zeolites and zeolite-containing catalysts and adsorbents. Chapter 4 provides an overview of the most commonly employed characterization techniques and emphasizes the uhlity and limitations of each of these methods. An example is provided as to how a multi-technique characterization approach is necessary in order to determine the structure of a newly invented zeolite. Techniques covered in this chapter include X-ray powder diffraction, electron microscopy, infrared (IR) spectroscopy, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy and physical/ chemical methods. 

The study of the raesophases by X-ray diffraction, electron microscopy, infrared spectroscopy and circular dichroism20-2S has shown that the structure is always lamellar and can be described as follows the lamellar structure consists of plane, parallel, and equidistant sheets of thickness d each sheet results from the superposition of two layers one of thickness dA formed by the polyvinyl chains in a more or less random coil conformation, the other with a thickness dB formed by the polypeptide chains in an a helix conformation, oriented perpendicular to the plane of the layers, arranged in a bidimensional hexagonal array, and generally folded.

A robbery occurred in which the thief or thieves entered through a skylight. One of the thieves caught his shirt on a wood splinter and several fibers were tom loose. The police have a suspect, but they have no evidence except the fibers. Other scientists are comparing the fibers by microscopy, infrared, x-ray diffraction, dying, and burning tests. Your part is to do solubility tests to see if fibers from the suspect match those at the crime scene.

Various techniques are used to obtain information on the active centers of catalysts, such as selective poisoning, measurement of the catalyst acidity and its strength, field electron and ion microscopy, infrared spectroscopy, fiash-filament desorption, differential isotopic method, etc. A temperature-programmed desorption method, which will be described and discussed in the present article, is in principle similar to the fiash-filament desorption method, reviewed recently by Ehrlich (1). It differs, however, from it in several respects. Modifications have been necessary in order to make the construction and operation of the apparatus easier and to adapt it to studies of materials other than metals, for example the conventional oxide catalysts. The conditions employed are much more similar to those ordinarily used in catalytic reactions than is the case with the fiash-filament method. An additional important feature of the modified technique is that it permits in some cases simultaneous study of a chemisorption process and the surface reaction which accompanies it. At the same time the modifications made have sacrificed some of the simplicity of the flash-filament method. For example, an obvious complication may arise from the porous structure of the conventional catalytic materials, in contrast to the relatively smooth surfaces of metal filaments. The potential presence of this and other complications requires extension of the relatively simple theoretical treatment of flash-filament desorption to more complicated cases.

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 ...

Iron oxides and hydroxides are the most important iron-bearing constituents of soils, sediments and clays. To characterize the samples, i.e. the identification of the different minerals present and the determination of their morphology and chemical composition, a variety of standard techniques are commonly used such as X-ray and electron diffraction, chemical analyses, optical and electron microscopy, infrared spectroscopy and thermal analysis (DTA, DTC,...). Most of these techniques are further applied in conjunction with selective dissolution or other separation methods in order to obtain more specific information about particular components in the complex soil system. In addition to all those characterization methods, MS has proven to be a valuable complementary technique for the study of these kinds of materials and in particular for the characterization of iron oxides and hydroxides which are usually poorly crystallized.
