Polymer Science A to Z: Getting Answers from FTIR and Raman Spectroscopy Analyses

Let’s tackle the science of polymer analysis using the power of spectroscopy.

We’ll explore polymer characterization, including quick polymer identification for recycling purposes, identifying product defects or failures for quality control, reverse engineering to facilitate product development. We’ll dive into polymer research – an active area of scientific endeavor where performance and a reduced environmental impact are key elements of interest. Learn why vibrational spectroscopy (infrared (IR) and Raman) instruments are useful for the analysis of polymers in an industrial setting, as IR and Raman are highly specific and sensitive tools that are non-destructive and easy to use.

During the session, we’ll offer clear examples that demonstrate the effectiveness of IR and Raman analysis in each of these categories.
