Identifying contaminants in synthetic polymers and rubbers using micro-ATR FTIR imaging
نویسنده
چکیده
Contaminants are easily introduced at any stage in the manufacturing process via extraneous input from the factory environment, tooling residue, off-specifi cation raw materials, and minor deviations in processing tolerances. Rapid and effective resolution of any contamination issue relies heavily on ensuring that deviations from critical specifi cations are rapidly identifi ed and the causes traced.

FTIR spectroscopic imaging of live cancer cells
FTIR spectroscopic imaging allows the visualization of the distribution of chemical components in cells. However, obtaining images of living cells is difficult because of the strong absorption of water in the mid-infrared region. The use of attenuated total reflection (ATR) FTIR spectroscopic imaging provides a possibility to study tissues or live cells in an aqueous environment.[1] This approa...
متن کاملIn-column ATR-FTIR spectroscopy to monitor affinity chromatography purification of monoclonal antibodies
In recent years many monoclonal antibodies (mAb) have entered the biotherapeutics market, offering new treatments for chronic and life-threatening diseases. Protein A resin captures monoclonal antibody (mAb) effectively, but the binding capacity decays over repeated purification cycles. On an industrial scale, replacing fouled Protein A affinity chromatography resin accounts for a large proport...

The qualitative study on the efficiency of anti-caking and antioxidant additives as long-term thermal stabilizers for polypropylene (PP) using ATR-FTIR spectrometry is reported. Different kinds of additives are used in polymeric materials both for processing, for long-term stabilization and to prevent deterioration of the plastics performance. ATR-FTIR technique is one of the most important spe...
متن کاملDynamic studies of molecular imprinting polymerizations
Mechanisms of interaction of a three-dimensional polymer with solutes are of interest in the development and function of synthetic biomimetic polymers. We have investigated the effects of template/monomer interactions and template concentration on conversion and polymerization rates of a molecularly imprinted polymer. Copolymers of 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA) and poly(ethylene glycol) di...
