Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To provide insight into the chemical changes occurring over the entire dyeing process, FTIR analysis was carried out on the para-aramid samples at the different stages of treatments. Attenuated total reflection Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ATR–FTIR) spectra were recorded using an FTIR spectrometer (Excalibur 3100, Varian Inc., Palo Alto, CA, USA) equipped with an overhead attenuated total reflection (ATR) accessory with germanium crystal (UMA 400, Varian Inc.) and a liquid nitrogen cooled mercury cadmium telluride detector. A sample was placed on a potassium bromide (KBr) plate and pressed under the germanium crystal for scanning. Each spectrum was collected within the mid-IR region from 50–4000 cm−1 at a resolution of 4 cm−1 after averaging 128 scans. The ATR spectra of samples were presented in absorbance units after taking into account the background spectrum acquired using a blank KBr plate. Between successive measurements, the germanium ATR crystal was carefully cleaned with ethanol, rinsed with distilled water, and dried to prevent cross contamination. All the spectra were ATR-corrected using Varian Resolutions Pro software (Varian Inc., Palo Alto, CA, USA).
