Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) films doped with erbium chloride (ErCl3) have been prepared by casting from their aqueous solutions. The structure of the doped samples as well as the interactions between the host PVA and Er+3was investigated using FTIR spectroscopy. The optical measurement was recorded at room temperature in the range from 200 nm to 2000 nm. FTIR measurements revealed that Er+3forms complex configuration within the PVA structure. PVA doped with 9 wt% of ErCl3exhibits energy gap and refractive index of 5.1 eV and 1.72, respectively. The effect of the doping increment of ErCl3on the optical parameters has been discussed.

The solvent properties, especially the polarity, of room-temperature ionic liquids (RTILs) of the general type [Cnmim]X, where [Cnmim] is the 1-CnH2n+1-3-methylimidazolium cation and X is [BF4]−, [PF6]−, [NO3]−, [SCN]−, or [NTf2]− (Tf = CF3SO2), have been investigated using Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. Comparing the experimental shifts in the νC=O stretching frequencies of acetone and N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) as probe molecules suggests that the polarities of most common RTILs are between that of DMF and methanol. A more sensitive probe, Fe(CO)5, can distinguish small polarity differences between RTILs with similar structures. The effects of varying the structure of RTILs by introducing functional groups and different anions on their polarity are also compared.

Abstract Structural characterization of edible oils after thermal treatment was made by (FTIR) spectroscopy. Olive, corn and sunflower oil samples were thermally treated at three consecutive cycles. Each cycle consisted of heating at the boiling point for 8 h, followed by cooling at room temperature for 16 h. At the end of each cycle the characteristics of oils were studied by FTIR spectroscopy and standard methods. Study of FTIR spectra of the treated oils revealed that the heating of oils caused significant changes in the intensities of their bands and produced shifts in the position of specific bands such as 3008 cm−1 and 1745 cm−1. The level of oil oxidation during different heating period was followed by the absorbance ratio at 3530/3472 cm−1. Additionally, the absorbance ratio 2853/3008 cm−1 was used as a measure of degree of unsaturation. The thermal heating of oils produced an initial decrease in the specific absorbance ratios which could be attributed to the reduction of unsaturated fatty acid content due to oxidation process. The results in this study demonstrated that FTIR could be used for assessment of the state of oils by using specific absorbance ratios as indicators.

BaTiO3powders were prepared hydrothermally using TiCl4, Ba(OH)2.8H2O and NH4OH as starting materials at 150°C for 2h. The structure of the prepared nanocystalline BT powders were a metastable cubic perovskite according to XRD and HRTEM analysis, while FT Raman spectra showed that BT powders have a tetragonal structure. Hydroxyl and carbonate groups were observed in all prepared powders that showed in FTIR spectroscopy as vibrational bands. The tetragonal phase of BT powder was identified clearly by slow scan XRD at 2θ between 44.6 to 46°. The crystallite size of BT powders have increased with the increase of annealing temperature from 19 nm at room temperature to 70 nm at 1000°C.

In this paper, we report the structural and optical properties of bamboo-like silicon-doped boron nitride nanotubes. The morphologies and structures of the nanotubes were characterized using electron microscopy and FTIR spectroscopy. Three strong broad peaks centered at 1.76ev, 2.20ev, 2.40ev were observed from the room-temperature PL spectrum of the nanotubes. The spectrum suggested the existence of multifold energy levels within the band gap.

The final composition of the blended Heveaplus MG50 and polyacrylic emulsion paint composition, the depolymerised Heveaplus MG50 latex was mixed with polyacrylic emulsified paint with a minor active pre-dispersed curative agents, other diluent additives and dispersion agents, which was heated up in a steam-batch at 70-80 °C for 25 minute, cool to room-temperature, then the analysis of the final composite material was done using the Bruker ATR FTIR spectroscopy

AbstractShelf life at room temperature and curing behaviour at elevated temperature are studied for hot-curing accelerated epoxies (EP, diglycidylether of bisphenol A plus dicyandiamide (Dicy)) by FTIR-spectroscopy and modulated DSC. The accelerator is added either directly or with nano-zeolite filler to the EP. Due to the immobilisation of the accelerator in the pores of the nano-zeolite, the shelf life of this EP is 5 times longer than for the EP containing free accelerator. While the free accelerator acts during the whole heating step to curing temperature, the nano-zeolite does not release the accelerator before ca. 100 °C. As monitored by light microscopy, the released accelerator not only supports the curing but also stimulates the dissolution of the solid Dicy. As the result, network formation at 170 °C finishes within less than 25 minutes for the nano-filled EP.
