Polymerisation Confirmation via ATR-FTIR

The confirmation of polymerisation was determined using attenuated total reflectance Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR, Perkin Elmer), and samples were stored in a vacuum oven at 80 °C prior to testing. Samples were analysed at room temperature in the spectral range of 4000–650 cm⁻¹ with 4 scans per sample and a constant compression force of 80 N (n = 3). The confirmation of polymerisation was based on the disappearance of peaks at 815 cm⁻¹ and 1167 cm⁻¹ associated with C=CH and C–O bonding as was previously established [34 (link),35 (link)].

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
