Characterization of Polymer Tubing Layers by Fourier Transform-Infrared (FT-IR) Microscopy

From Impact Analytical
 

 

Industrial and commercial tubing may be comprised of layers, dependent upon the final tubing application. In this application, the different layers provide discreet properties dictated by the environment to which each of the layers will be exposed. The FT-IR microscopic technique may be used to characterize the individual layers of the tubing.
