In FRP products, the silanes are usually applied to the fibers from an aqueous solution. Earlier studies carried out in our laboratory (2) indicated a strong dependence of composite mechanical properties on the concentration of silane in the coating solution, as well as on the silane organofunctionality. Our investigations focus on the effect of silane solution concentration and functionality on the nature and properties of silane coatings deposited from such solutions.

In situ Fourier transform infrared and in situ infrared reflection spectroscopies have been used to study the electrical double layer structure and adsorption of various species at low-index single-crystal faces of Au, Pt, and other electrodes.206"210 It has been shown that if the ions in the solution have vibrational bands, it is possible to relate their excess density to the experimentally observed surface. 

The structure of poly(iminocarbonates) synthesized by the direct interfacial polymerization of BPA and cyanogen bromide was analyzed by NMR, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and elemental analysis and found to be identical in all aspects to authentic poly(imino-carbonates) obtained by solution polymerization (46). 

Co concentration was determined by spectrophotometer (Varian Cary 500) at 692 nm wave length, with the sample diluted with a 9 mol/L concentrated HCl solution. NO content in gas phase was obtained by an on-line Fourier transform infrared spectrometer (Nicolet E.S.P. 460 FT-IR) equipped with a gas cell and a quantitative package, Quant Pad. 

A rate enhancement effect due to secondary nucleation has been identified in the solution-mediated transformation of the 7-phase of (i)-glutamic acid to its / -phase [82]. In this study, the kinetics of the polymorphic transition were studied using optical microscopy combined with Fourier transform infrared, Raman, and ultraviolet absorption spectroscopies. The crystallization process of n-hexatriacontane was investigated using micro-IR methodology, where it was confirmed that single... 

Arachidic acid monolayers were prepared from a benzene solution on the water subphase of pH5.8(pure water) and 12.6(adjusted by addition of NaOH) at Tsp of 303 K below Tm(=328 K) of the monolayer [31]. The ionic dissociation state of hydrophilic group was estimated on the basis of the stretching vibrations of carbonyl and carboxylate groups by Fourier transform-infrared attenuated total reflection, FT-IR ATR measurements. 70 arachidic acid monolayers were transferred on germanium ATR prism, resulting in the formation of the multi-layered film. Transfer on the prism was carried out at surface pressures of 25 or 28 mN-nr1. Infrared absorption measurements revealed that almost carboxylic groups of arachidic acid molecules did not dissociate on the water subphase of pH5.8, whereas all carboxylic groups dissociated as carboxylate ions on the water subphase of pH 12.6. 

Subtractively normalized interfacial Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (SNIFTIRS), has been used extensively to examine interactions of species at the electrode/electrolyte interface. In the present work, the method has been extended to probe interactions at the mercury solution interface. The diminished potential dependent frequency shifts of species adsorbed at mercury electrodes are compared with shifts observed for similar species adsorbed at d-band metals. 

Subtractively normalized interfacial Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy has been used to follow the reorientations of isoquinoline molecules adsorbed at a mercury electrode. Field induced infrared absorption is a major contribution to the intensities of the vibrational band structure of aromatic organic molecules adsorbed on mercury. Adsorbed isoquinoline was observed to go through an abrupt reorientation at potentials more negative than about -0.73 V vs SCE (the actual transition potential being dependent on the bulk solution concentration) to the vertical 6,7 position. 

The SNIFTIRS approach. The acronym SNIFTIRS means Subtractively Normalized Interfacial Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy. The basic concept of this method involves the fact that the raw data obtained directly from the Fourier Transform process contain components which are undesirable. Firstly, there is material in the solution which may have affected the spectrum. Secondly, unwanted information on certain material on the electrode (adsorbed water, for example) is best eliminated. 

An important tool for the fast characterization of intermediates and products in solution-phase synthesis are vibrational spectroscopic techniques such as Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) or Raman spectroscopy. These concepts have also been successfully applied to solid-phase organic chemistry. A single bead often suffices to acquire vibrational spectra that allow for qualitative and quantitative analysis of reaction products,3 reaction kinetics,4 or for decoding combinatorial libraries.5... 

Most earlier papers dealt with the mercury electrode because of its unique and convenient features, such as surface cleanness, smoothness, isotropic surface properties, and wide range of ideal polarizability. These properties are gener y uncharacteristic of solid metal electrodes, so the results of the sohd met electrolyte interface studies are not as explicit as they are for mercury and are often more controversial. This has been shown by Bockris and Jeng, who studied adsorption of 19 different organic compounds on polycrystaUine platinum electrodes in 0.0 IM HCl solution using a radiotracer method, eUipsometry, and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy. The authors have determined and discussed adsorption isotherms and the kinetics of adsorption of the studied compounds. Their results were later critically reviewed by Wieckowski. ... 

Fourier transform-infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopic studies on SO-SA complexation provides information that may be complementary to that of NMR and other techniques, namely, in particular, on the involvement of functional groups in intermolecular and intramolecular interactions. Attenuated total reflectance (ATR) IR spectroscopy has been used for the study of binding modes of cinchona alkaloid selectors either in solution [95] or in solid state [94], or directly on the CSP [96]. 

Analysts. It has been our objective to determine criteria for resin, curative or formulation which would permit prediction of sucess prior to potting tests. Many tests, both chemical and physical in nature, have been executed on commercial resin systems. These have included high pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC), Fourier Transform infrared spectrometry (FTIR), gel permeation chromatography, compressive tensile tests by Instron on resin plaques in air and under various aqueous solutions and heat distortion temperature.
