Reflectance measurements, for

In contrast to the measurements by McDermott et al [58], neutron reflectivity measurements for the Ci2E6/Ci6TAB mixture in 0.1 M NaBr at the air-water interface and SANS measurements of the mixed micelles show close to ideal mixing. Penfold et al. [60] has used neutron reflectivity to investigate this mixture at the solid-solution interface. For the hydrophilic silicon surface, the surface composition of the mixed surfactant bilayer adsorbed at the interface depended strongly upon the solution pH. At pH 2.4, the surface composition... 

The apparatus used for IR microscopy is a Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectrometer coupled on-line with an optical microscope. The microscope serves to observe the sample in white light at significant magnification for the purpose of determining its morphology, as well as to select the area for analysis. The spectrometer, on the other hand, enables study of the sample by transmission or reflection measurement for the purpose of determining the chemical composition. It also provides information about the microstructure and optical properties (orientation) of the sample. It is possible to apply polarised light both in the observation of the sample and in spectrometric measurements.

The purpose of obtaining spectral data on the complex refractive Index of polycarbonate polymer was to permit detailed Interpretations to be made of the IR-RA spectra collected In situ on metal-backed films of this material. Several of the principal methods for obtaining the optical constants n and k of an Isotropic medium have been reviewed by Humphreys-Owen [18]. All of the methods outlined are Insensitive to k when k Is close to zero, which Is the case for frequencies between absorbance bands. For this study, a polarlmetrlc technique (method D In Ref. 18) was chosen to obtain the optical constants of BPA-PC. To apply this method, the ratio of surface reflectances Rp/Rg at two large, but well-separated, angles of Incidence (9 ) was obtained for BPA-PC In the IR. Rp Is defined as the reflectance measured for a sample using radiation polarized parallel to the Incidence plane and R...

The UV-visible reflectance measurement for a mercury electrode not in contact with polymer but solely with electrolyte solution may be still in demand. The challenge to make the measurement with a mercury drop possible may be quite valuable. 

Nonpulsatile optical spectroscopy has been used for more than half a century for noninvasive medical assessment, such as in the use of multiwavelength tissue analysis for oximetry and skin reflectance measurement for bilirubin assessment in jaundiced neonates. These early applications have found some limited use, but with modest impact. Recent investigations into new nonpulsatile spectroscopy methods for assessment of deep-tissue oxygenation (e.g., cerebral oxygen monitoring), for evaluation of respiratory status at the cellular level, and for the detection of other critical analytes, such as glucose, may yet prove more fruitful. The former applications have led to spectroscopic studies of cytochromes in tissues, and the latter has led to considerable work into new approaches in near-infrared analysis of intact tissues. 

Similar to ellipsometry, a model of the interface is required to evaluate the experimental data. Several techniques were elaborated to enhance the sensitivity of reflectance measurements (for instance, multiple reflectance). 

Specular reflectance techniques basically involve a mirror-like reflection from the sample surface that occurs when the reflection angle equals the angle of incident radiation. It is used for samples that are reflective (smooth surface) or attached to a reflective backing. Thus, specular techniques provide a reflectance measurement for reflective materials, and a reflection-absorption (transflectance) measurement for the surface films deposited on, or pressed against reflective surfaces (Figure 9). 

This quantity is also known as the radiant reflectance. The radiant reflectance measured for a specified wavelength of the Incident radiant flux is called the spectral reflectance. 

The cases in which one or both of the copolymer blocks form a wet brush are somewhat more complicated and are discussed by Dai et al. (1992). Our discussions in section 6.2 should lead us to suspect that this scaling approach is not likely to be completely accurate - we know from neutron reflectivity measurements (for example those shown in figures 6.14 and 6.20) that, even in the dry-brush regime, there is substantial penetration of the brush by the homopolymer. Nonetheless, the theory does succeed in capturing much of the physics and allows at least semi-quantitative predictions of the interfacial excess and interfacial tension.

Table 7.3.2 gives an overview of the chemical reference analysis. Reflectance NIR measurements gave better prediction results compared to transmittance NIR measurements. Transmittance measurements will not be discussed further. The lowest prediction error for reflectance measurements for pork was 0.60% for moisture, 0.66% for protein, and 0.16% for fat (Table 7.3.3). The latter is probably somewhat overoptimistic, because the standard error of calibration was significantly higher, that is, SEC = 0.27%. The corresponding prediction errors for beef were comparable, namely, 0.52%, 0.61%, and 0.31% for moisture, protein, and fat, respectively. By...

Such an angular scan in this attenuated total internal reflection scheme is given in Figure 3(a) and (b), respectively, for the two most commonly used metal layers made from Ag and from Au, respectively. Compared to the reflectivity measured for a bare prism without the metal layer given in Figure 2(c) just as a reference situation, the reflected intensity at angles smaller than the critical angle for total internal reflection, 6c,...
