Pigments in stratigraphic section may be analysed by TXRF (elemental composition), x Raman spectroscopy (functional groups) or XRD (structural analysis). At variance to conventional XRD, SR-XRD allows acquisition of patterns on thin stratigraphic sections... 

Making use of EXAFS and NEXAFS spectroscopies. Functional groups only. 

Spectroscopy. Functional groups of the molecules making up the resin are determined. 

In this second empirical approach, which has also been used for C NMR spectra, predictions are based on tabulated chemical shifts for classes of structures, and corrected with additive contributions from neighboring functional groups or substructures. Several tables have been compiled for different types of protons. Increment rules can be found in nearly any textbook on NMR spectroscopy.

Section 13 20 IR spectroscopy probes molecular structure by examining transitions between vibrational energy levels using electromagnetic radiation m the 625-4000 cm range The presence or absence of a peak at a charac tenstic frequency tells us whether a certain functional group is present Table 13 4 lists IR absorption frequencies for common structural units... 

The ease of sample handling makes Raman spectroscopy increasingly preferred. Like infrared spectroscopy, Raman scattering can be used to identify functional groups commonly found in polymers, including aromaticity, double bonds, and C bond H stretches. More commonly, the Raman spectmm is used to characterize the degree of crystallinity or the orientation of the polymer chains in such stmctures as tubes, fibers (qv), sheets, powders, and films...

Instmmental methods of analysis provide information about the specific composition and purity of the amines. QuaUtative information about the identity of the product (functional groups present) and quantitative analysis (amount of various components such as nitrile, amide, acid, and deterruination of unsaturation) can be obtained by infrared analysis. Gas chromatography (gc), with a Hquid phase of either Apiezon grease or Carbowax, and high performance Hquid chromatography (hplc), using siHca columns and solvent systems such as isooctane, methyl tert-huty ether, tetrahydrofuran, and methanol, are used for quantitative analysis of fatty amine mixtures. Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (nmr), both proton ( H) and carbon-13 ( C), which can be used for quaHtative and quantitative analysis, is an important method used to analyze fatty amines (8,81). 

As indicated above, the penetration depth is on the order of a micrometer. That means that in ATR, absorption of infrared radiation mostly occurs within a distance 8 of the surface and ATR is not as surface sensitive as some other surface analysis techniques. However, ATR, like all forms of infrared spectroscopy, is very sensitive to functional groups and is a powerful technique for characterizing the surface regions of polymers.
