A method for real-time determination of the percent cure of epoxies via in situ fiber-optic Raman spectroscopy has been developed. This method utilizes a probe design developed for real-time monitoring of polymer curing and multivariate analysis to interpret the data and determine percent cure. This method was demonstrated to be reliable to ±0.54% of cure in laboratory samples over a 50–99% cure range. A preliminary study measuring cure percentage in an industrial, glass-reinforced composite has been shown to be reliable to ±0.82% in the 40–90% cure range.

The adaptation and construction of an environmental chamber suitable for FT-Raman spectroscopy is described for the recording of Raman spectra of specimens at temperatures from 25 to 125 °C while exposed to different controlled synthetic atmospheric conditions. Test spectra were obtained from sulfur to illustrate the stability and applications of the system. The α rhombic/β monoclinic phase change in sulfur was monitored as a function of time, and bands sensitive to this phase change have been identified.
