Laser-Raman spectrum of polyethylene: Part 1. Structure and analysis of the polymer

The Raman spectra of several different samples of polyethylene are reported. It appears that the spectra are sensitive to crystallinity and to the presence of impurities such as vinyl groups. The possible effect of the presence of gauche CH 2 groups are considered. There is definite evidence that Ra...

Description
Summary:The Raman spectra of several different samples of polyethylene are reported. It appears that the spectra are sensitive to crystallinity and to the presence of impurities such as vinyl groups. The possible effect of the presence of gauche CH 2 groups are considered. There is definite evidence that Raman spectroscopy has value as an analytical technique for polyethylenes.
