Abstract
The invention relates to a process for the analysis of plastic mixtures by infrared transmission spectroscopy in which the spectra are run while the samples are rotated. This measure improves the accuracy and reproducibility of the spectra and, hence, the determination of individual components of the plastic mixture.
Claims4
A method for the analysis of an anisotropic plastic foil or film specimen in a rotatable sample holder by determination of infrared transmission spectra in a Fourier transform spectrometer wherein the method comprises
- a) obtaining a plurality of distinct spectra while the specimen is rotated at an angular velocity so that the period of rotation is greater than the time required to obtain a single transmission spectrum and
- b) calculating the percentage contents of individual constituents in the specimen by averaging the data in the plurality of spectra.
