Abstract
The temperature induced changes in the intensities of the infrared absorption bands of PVA in both MID and NIR regions are presented. The absorption band at 1141cm-1 is the only band among the bands in the mid region which is markedly affected by temperature. This band is taken as a measure of crystallinity of PVA. PVA shows two phase transitions at 80c0 and 120c0. The absorbances of the 1940nm in the near region is also temperature sensititve. The temperature dependence of the other bands in either mid or near regions is very weak. The effect of non polar and polar solvents such as n-hexane, carbon tetrachloride, toluene, chloroform, methanol and acetone is discussed. Comparison between the solvent induced changes in the intensities of the bands in mid and near regions is carried out. The data demonstrate that the bands in the near region ( overtone and combinations) are more sensitive to solvents than the bands in the mid regions. The combined effect of temperature and solvents on the intensities of absorption bands of PVA is also studied.
