“…The technique proved satisfactory in providing sufficient spectral information to enable the chemical structures of the coatings to be identified and compared. In another investigation using internal reflection, Nel'son and coworkers (66) were able to study the structural changes associated with vulcanization of polystyrene-butadiene rub-bers filled with carbon black. Such samples can be difficult or impossible to study by normal transmission infrared spectroscopy due to the opacity of the samples.…”

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
