Abstract
Raman spectroscopy, in general, is well suited for polymer studies. The sample may be in any form, including beads, films, or molded parts, and analyzed nondestructively with little or no preparation. Raman is sensitive to polymer microstructure along the backbone, crystallinity and conformation. Reliable quantitative methods are available to measure parameters such as copolymer ratios. As the popularity of confocal Raman microscopy grows, many other applications related to defect analysis, product characterization, and studies of competitive products will emerge.
