Sep 1, 2021 · We explore how different PE syntheses produce materials with different physical and spectroscopic properties, which introduces us to the concept of crystalline splitting and the rest of the story on CH 2 rocking peaks.

Jan 1, 2002 · Important experimental parameters for FTIR spectra acquisition were studied: apodization, beam aperture, number of scans and spectral resolution, using polyethylene samples.

Dec 1, 2021 · To contribute to the targeted 10 million tons per year of recycled plastic in Europe by 2025 and to improve the mechanical sorting degree of polyethylene (PE) products, density prediction models were developed from Fourier transform infrared-attenuated total reflectance (FTIR-ATR) and Raman spectroscopic data.

Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) is one of the most important instrumental techniques used to study the molecular structure of organic polymers.

The FTIR spectrum of polyethylene (PE). The characteristic PE absorbance bands are located at 2914 cm-1, 2847 cm-1, 1470 cm-1 (blue shaded peak), and 718cm-1.

The FTIR spectrum of the sample was found to be consistent with oxidized polyethylene. The failed PE sample was found to show an increase in molecular weight as compared to the virgin material.

FTIR is a great method for quick identification of the functional groups present inan unknown sample, but PYMS analysis can provide a much greater level of information and should be the method of choice when this type of information is preferred.

In this study, wax worm larvae (Galleria mellonella) were used to examine their ability to degrade and assimilate polyethylene (PE) as an energy source. This idea came from the similarity of wax,...

Jan 19, 2012 · The FTIR analysis of 35–85% PE concentrations in PE/ PP blends is now easier than ever using the versatile Agilent Cary 630 FTIR spectrometer. An excellent calibration was developed using the same cast film technique and IR peaks as the ASTM D3900 PE/ PP copolymer method. The Cary 630 FTIR standard

FTIR allows verification of the insertion of functional groups into the PE during the photo-oxidation process that is well known and leads to the production of fragments containing carbonyls (>C=O), hydroxyls (-OH) and terminal vinyl unsaturations (>C=CH2), which can be traced from indices.
