abcit Infrared Spectroscopy p We send an infrared beam on the sample p The radiation will be attenuated only at specific wavelenghts p The graph is called Spectrum and is a “fingerprint” of every molecule

abcit StepScan DSC of Nylon p Nylon 6 polymers yield simultaneous moisture evolution peak and plasticized Tg p Standard DSC has difficulty detecting plasticized Tg because of moisture peak p StepScan DSC can separate out the moisture evolution peak (‘slow’ process) from the Tg (‘fast’)
