Infrared spectroscopy continues to be one of the principal techniques for structural analysis of polymers and for identifying components of complex formulations. The distinctiveness of important vinyl, alkyl, and aryl chemical structures in the infrared such as ester, amide, nitrile, isocyanate, hydroxyls, amine, and sulfone makes it ideal for the first gross characterization of chemical types present and for following the reactions of these functional groups in curing or degradation studies.
