Jv. Weber et al., APPLICATION OF INFRARED-SPECTROSCOPY TO THE ANALYSIS OF THE THERMAL-BEHAVIOR OF CELLULOSE - PART ONE, JOURNAL OF THERMAL ANALYSIS AND CALORIMETRY, 53(1), 1998, pp. 11-17
In this work, we describe and evaluate the use of the Fourier transfor
m infra red (FTIR) spectroscopy in DRIFT mode (diffuse reflectance inf
ra red Fourier transform) in an environmental device to follow the fun
ctional evolution of cellulose during thermal treatments. The potentia
lities (and difficulties) of the technic are given.
