Abstract
The potential of the micro-Fourier Transform Raman tool in examining s pecific localized regions in polymeric materials with some degree of f luorescence when analyzed by conventional Raman spectroscopy is examin ed. Analysis of characteristic bands of the vibrational spectra obtain ed in a small area damaged by a visible and NIR laser beam in commerci al Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) shows a different conformer ratio than that observed in a non irradiated zone.
