The application of Fourier transform Raman spectroscopy to the analysis of poly(anhydride) homo- and co-polymers

Fourier transform Raman spectroscopy was used to characterise a homologous series of aliphatic poly(anhydrides), poly[ bis( p-carboxyphenoxy) alkane anhydrides] and a selection of co-polymers of sebacic/ [bis( p-carboxyphenoxy) propane anhydride] P(SA-CPP). The techniqe is compared to conventional i...

Description
Summary:Fourier transform Raman spectroscopy was used to characterise a homologous series of aliphatic poly(anhydrides), poly[ bis( p-carboxyphenoxy) alkane anhydrides] and a selection of co-polymers of sebacic/ [bis( p-carboxyphenoxy) propane anhydride] P(SA-CPP). The techniqe is compared to conventional infrared for characterisation work, highlighting the advantage of small sample requirement and minimal sample preparation necessary for acquisition of spectral information. It is possible to differentiate between aromatic and aliphatic anhydride bonding, and in conjunction with other diagnostic bands to monitor the change in individual monomer composition within a co-polymer mixture.
