ATR-FTIR spectroscopy as a tool for studies of polymer-polymer miscibility

  • Published:

Summary

Attenuated total reflection Fourier transform infrared (ATR-FTIR) spectroscopy is a useful technique for studies on specific interactions between polymers in miscible blends. The application of ATR-FTIR spectroscopy is demonstrated for blends of chlorine containing vinylpolymers of varying chlorine content with different polycarbonates. The miscibility is correlated to specific interactions between polar groups, leading to shifts of the infrared absorption bands.
