Abstract

Photoacoustic Fourier transform infrared (PA-FTIR) spectroscopy is not a widely used analytical technique with only a few quantitative applications to polymers reported. To explore the potential use of PA-FTIR in quantitative polymer analyses the determination of vinyl acetate in EVA, acrylonitrile in NBR, ethylene in EPDM, styrene in SBR, and vinyl-butadiene in SBR were studied. The results indicate that despite the theoretical complexities of PA-FTIR, simple quantitative relationships can be found for many of these polymer analyses.
