Quantitative vibrational difference spectroscopy of small signals requires techniques that minimize spectral noise. As simple modulation of the sample followed by signal demodulation is often problematic due to interference with the FT-IR Fourier frequencies, alternate methods are necessary. Using vibrational Stark spectroscopy as an example, the DC method involves alternating complete interfer...

TiO2 films prepared by template-assisted sol-gel method were characterized by X-ray diffraction spectroscopy, scanning and atomic force electron microscopy, and Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy. Based on the hexane adsorption-desorption analysis, the films have a surface area of 390-540 m(2)/g with pore size distribution narrowly centered around 10 nm. Optimal component ratio and...

The structural characteristics of corn stalks hemicelluloses during the active oxygen cooking process as a pretreatment of biomass conversion were investigated in this work. The hemicelluloses obtained from the corn stalks, pulp, and yellow liquor were evaluated by high-performance anion-exchange chromatography (HPAEC), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), gel permeation chromatogra...

Terahertz time-domain spectroscopy (THz-TDS) and Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy were used to generate far-infrared and low-frequency spectral measurements of monomeric lysozyme and lysozyme fibrils. The formation of lysozyme fibrils was verified by the Thioflavin T assay and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). It was evident in the FT-IR spectra that between 150 and 350 cm(...

SnCl4/nano-sawdust was prepared as a carbohydrate-based catalyst containing of tin bearing cellulose units. The catalyst was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS). The catalyst was applied successfully as a readily available, inexpensive, biodeg...

polyaniline and polyamide (nylon 6,6) nanocomposites with silva were prepared by in-situ oxidativepolymerization of aniline monomers in the presence of ag salt nano particles of silver (nps) were symthesieedby controlled reduction of ag+ ions kith sodium borohydride at room temperature. nylon 6,6 wax loaded withag nanoparfieles by erdrapment of ag+ ions into the polymer network, followed by red...

in this paper functionalized multiwall carbon nanotubes (fmwcnt) were modified using doxycycline, containing reactable nitrogen, which can attach chemically to functionalized mwcnt. the synthesized nano compounds were characterized by fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ft-ir) and raman spectroscopy. these spectrums proved the existence of nitrogen atoms of amide functional groups. the mor...

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to assess molecular interactions between several anticancer drugs and an iodinated contrast medium by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and ultravioletvisible spectroscopy (UV-Vis). Materials and Methods: Iopamidol (IPM) was used as an iodinated contrast medium, and mitomycin C (MMC), epirubicin hydrochloride (EPI), cisplatin (CDDP), 5-fluorou...

Cell pastes and supernatant Escherichia coli samples, taken from an industrial bioprocess overproducing recombinant a2 IFN were analysed using pyrolysis mass spectrometry (PyMS) and diffuse reflectance-absorbance Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR). PyMS and FT-IR are physico-chemical methods which measure predominantly the bond strengths of molecules and the vibrations of bonds wit...

An FT-IR Spectrometer is an instrument which acquires broadband NIR to FIR spectra. Unlike a dispersive instrument, i.e. grating monochromator or spectrograph, an FT-IR Spectrometer collects all wavelengths simultaneously. This feature, called the Multiplex or Felgett Advantage, is discussed in detail on page 3. FT-IR Spectrometers are often simply called FT-IRs. But for the purists, an FT-IR (...
