Abstract
The analysis of thermally changed, e.g., melted, decomposed, burned, o r incinerated textile fibers by FTIR spectroscopy is described. This m ethod allows us to observe the pathway of fiber thermal degradation an d to find the chemical (organic and inorganic) compounds in degraded f ibers. The results of these examinations can be applied in the forensi c analysis for the identification and differentiation between thermall y changed fibers.
