An electrothermal atomizer is employed to vaporize solid samples of pigments at temperatures ranging from 150°C to 1000°C The evolution of vapors is followed by Fourier transform infrared spectrometry (FT-IR) The atomizer acts at the same time as vapor supplier and vapor holder This coupling allows the investigation in situ of vaporization or pyrolysis phenomena avoiding the use of heated transfer pipes The pigments examined in this study show various vapor-phase behaviors Some pigments vaporize without appreciable decomposition at temperatures from 400°C to 950°C, while other pigments investigated decompose during the heating and originate pyrolysis products whose evolution is monitored continuously by the FT-IR spectrometer

A method is described for measuring the infrared spectra of submicrogram quantities of materials separated by thin-layer chromatography (TLC) without removing the sample from the plate. The use of programmed multiple development for the chromatography concentrates each spot of sample on the TLC plate by approximately a factor of 4 compared to conventional TLC. A Fourier transform infrared spectrometer equipped with a mercury cadmium telluride detector enables recognizable spectra to be measured in less than 10 s.

The reproducibility of the KBr pelleting technique for inorganic sulfates was assessed using a Fourier transform infrared spectrometer. Day-to-day variation in peak frequencies of selected bands had standard deviations ranging from 0. to 1.5 cm−1. This 1 cm−1 standard deviation was shown to be due to changes in bandshape, probably due to variations in sample preparation from operator to operator. It was concluded that the reproducibility of sulfates in KBr is sufficient to allow the design of computerized spectral matching programs to identify specific sulfate species based on band frequencies and intensities.

The application of the newly developed technique of photoacoustic infrared spectroscopy, using a Fourier transform infrared spectrometer, to the measurement of the infrared spectra of single slabs of various coal types is described. The effects of aging of coal surfaces, which include both oxidation and abrasion, are clearly apparent in a comparison of the spectra of freshly cleaved and aged coal surfaces.

The nanocomposite hydrogels were prepared by dispersing of the nanopomegranate seed particles into poly(vinyl alcohol)/poly(acrylic acid) blend matrix in an aqueous medium by the solvent casting method. These hydrogels were characterized using scanning electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectra, differential scanning calorimetry, and optical contact angle instruments. The nanopomegranate seed, blend, and hydrogel nanocomposites were tested for microbial activity. In addition, cytocompatibilities of these blend and hydrogel nanocomposites/composites were tested on human lymphocyte with in vitro MTS cell viability assays. Fourier transform infrared spectra revealed that esterification reaction took place among functional groups in the structure of poly(vinyl alcohol) and poly(acrylic acid). The hydrophilic properties of all hydrogels decreased with increasing nanopomegranate seed content. The mean diameters of the nanopomegranate seed particles were about 88 nm. Nanopomegranate seed particles demonstrated antibacterial properties against gram-positive bacteria, Staphylococcus aureus, and gram-negative bacteria, Escherichia coli. The lymphocyte viabilities increased after addition of nanopomegranate seeds into the polymer blend. The swelling behavior of blend and hydrogels was dependent on the cross-linking density created by the reaction between poly(vinyl alcohol)/poly(acrylic acid) blend and nanopomegranate seed. Scanning electron microscopy images were highly consistent with Fourier transform infrared spectra, differential scanning calorimetry, and antibacterial activity results.
