Applications of vibrational spectroscopy to the analysis of novel coatings

Application of infrared photoacoustic spectroscopy in catalysis

“…It has to be underline the applications of the discussed technique for the investigation of industrial materials or studies having an influence on the industrial production [64]. Those studies covers an analysis of coatings [65,66], rapid determination of limestone in lime products [67], spectra of distillation fractions derived from syncrude heavy gas oil [68], light gas oil [69], post-extraction oil sand [70]. Yang and Simms [71] have compared PA, diffuse reflectance (DR) and transmission IR spectra of the studied carbon fibres.…”

Using the Linearization Approach for Synchronizing the Phase of Photoacoustic Reference and Sample Data

“…A further advantage of this nondestructive method is the possibility of depth profiling, which can be used to examine layered or inhomogeneous solid samples. 1,2 Due to these advantages PAS is applied to a broad range of samples like coatings, [3][4][5][6] polymers, [7][8][9][10][11][12] food products, [13][14][15][16] pharmaceutical, 17,18 medical, [19][20][21][22][23][24] and other samples. 25 The photoacoustic effect was discovered by Alexander Graham Bell in 1880.…”
