FTIR Analysis Techniques

Introduction

Understanding the molecular structure of materials is essential in various industries, from polymers to pharmaceuticals. Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) is a critical tool for achieving this understanding. At Kiyo R&D Center, we leverage FTIR analysis to provide deep insights into material composition and properties.

What is FTIR Analysis?

FTIR analysis involves measuring how infrared light interacts with a material to produce a unique spectrum, which serves as a molecular fingerprint. This fingerprint helps identify the chemical bonds and structures within the sample, providing detailed information about its composition.

How Does FTIR Work?

The technique works by passing infrared light through a sample and detecting the wavelengths that are absorbed. The resulting spectrum displays the absorbance or transmittance at each wavelength, which can be compared to reference spectra to identify the materials present.

Applications of FTIR Analysis

1. Polymer Identification: FTIR is used to analyze polymers, ensuring they meet specific requirements and aiding in the development of new materials.
2. Contaminant Detection: Identifying contaminants is crucial for maintaining product quality and safety.
3. Surface Analysis: FTIR provides insights into surface treatments and coatings, enhancing material performance.
4. Pharmaceutical Quality Control: Ensuring the consistency and purity of pharmaceutical products is another vital application.
