Gc. Pandey et al., Quantitative applications acrylate content in the two of infrared imaging:methyl lobes of biocomponent acrylic fibers, POLYM TEST, 21(1), 2002, pp. 65-68
We report a unique application of infrared microscopy in the determination
of the composition of the two lobes of a bicomponent acrylic fiber. The met
hod involved measurement of the infrared spectrum of each of the two lobes
of the dumbbell shaped fiber separately, using an infrared microscope. From
the spectral data the composition of each lobe was determined using a univ
ersal equation developed by Pandey (Analyst 144 (1989) 231). The sample use
d for the present study represents variation in terms of source and also th
e batch of production. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
