Many of today’s plastics are multi component systems with multiple constituents like different polymers, fillers, plasticizers and compatibilizers. By systematic selection and blending of these constituents in appropriate mixture ratios tailor made substances with optimized material pro-perties can be made. An important topic for quality control and analytical purposes is the identification and quantifica-tion of the individual components present in such plastics.
Bruker eBook offers several articles detailing the use of spectroscopy technologies for applications such as the analysis of polymer fillers and compatibilizers; microanalysis in product development and troubleshooting; study of biomolecules, cells and tissues; raw material identification; on-line monitoring of fermentation processes; and the determination of water content in different concentration ranges.
