Transmission Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy. The most straightforward method for the acquisition of in spectra of surface layers is standard transmission spectroscopy (35,36). This approach can only be used for samples which are partially in transparent or which can be diluted with an in transparent medium such as KBr and pressed into a transmissive pellet. The extent to which the in spectral region (typically ca 600 4000 cm ) is available for study depends on the in absorption characteristics of the soHd support material. Transmission ftir spectroscopy is most often used to study surface species on metal oxides. These soHds leave reasonably large spectral windows within which the spectral behavior of the surface species can be viewed. 

Attenuated Total Reflectance Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy. Attenuated total redectance (atr) ftir spectroscopy is based on the principle of total internal redection (40). Methods based on internal redection in the uv and visible regions of the spectmm are also common in addition to those in the ir region. The implementation of internal redection in the ir region of the spectmm provides a means of obtaining ir spectra of surfaces or interfaces, thus providing moleculady-specific vibrational information.

Poly(vinyl acetate). The dielectric and mechanical spectra of hybrids produced by mixing a poly(vinyl acetate)—THE solution with TEOS, followed by the addition of HCl have been investigated (45). Mixtures were made which were beheved to be 0, 5, 10, 15, and 20 wt % Si02, respectively. These composites were transparent and Eourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ftir) revealed hydrogen bonding between the siUcate network and carbonyl units of the poly(vinyl acetate) (PVAc). No shift in the T of the composites from that of the pure PVAc was observed. Similarly, the activation... 

Most hydrocarbon resins are composed of a mixture of monomers and are rather difficult to hiUy characterize on a molecular level. The characteristics of resins are typically defined by physical properties such as softening point, color, molecular weight, melt viscosity, and solubiHty parameter. These properties predict performance characteristics and are essential in designing resins for specific appHcations. Actual characterization techniques used to define the broad molecular properties of hydrocarbon resins are Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ftir), nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (nmr), and differential scanning calorimetry (dsc).

The role of specific interactions in the plasticization of PVC has been proposed from work on specific interactions of esters in solvents (eg, hydrogenated chlorocarbons) (13), work on blends of polyesters with PVC (14—19), and work on plasticized PVC itself (20—23). Modes of iateraction between the carbonyl functionaHty of the plasticizer ester or polyester were proposed, mostly on the basis of results from Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ftir). Shifts in the absorption frequency of the carbonyl group of the plasticizer ester to lower wave number, indicative of a reduction in polarity (ie, some iateraction between this functionaHty and the polymer) have been reported (20—22). Work performed with dibutyl phthalate (22) suggests an optimum concentration at which such iateractions are maximized. Spectral shifts are in the range 3—8 cm . Similar shifts have also been reported in blends of PVC with polyesters (14—20), again showing a concentration dependence of the shift to lower wave number of the ester carbonyl absorption frequency.

In this chapter, three methods for measuring the frequencies of the vibrations of chemical bonds between atoms in solids are discussed. Two of them, Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy, FTIR, and Raman Spectroscopy, use infrared (IR) radiation as the probe. The third, High-Resolution Electron Enetgy-Loss Spectroscopy, HREELS, uses electron impact. The fourth technique. Nuclear Magnetic Resonance, NMR, is physically unrelated to the other three, involving transitions between different spin states of the atomic nucleus instead of bond vibrational states, but is included here because it provides somewhat similar information on the local bonding arrangement around an atom.
