Abstract:
Infrared (IR) spectroscopy is a quick, reliable, non-destructive technique that takes advantage of molecular vibrations to identify and study chemicals. Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy is the main method in executing IR spectroscopy. With IR spectroscopy a user can identify compounds, functional groups in organic molecules, interaction between a molecule and its local environment, and perform quantitative analysis such as concentration measurements just to name a few. There are several techniques in FTIR spectroscopy such as drifts, attenuated total reflectance and transmission. This presentation will cover the theory of FTIR spectroscopy along with the different sampling techniques and their applications.
