Microspectroscopy analysis of laminates
Both Fourier transform Infrared (FTIR), and Raman spectroscopy can be used to identify and distinguish among a wide range of different polymeric materials. When these techniques are coupled with a microscope, they are uniquely suited for analyzing multilayer films such as food packaging and other laminated materials.
In this application note, you will see the analysis of a cross-section of a multilayer polymer laminate using both the new Thermo Scientific™ Nicolet™ RaptIR™ FTIR Microscope and the Thermo Scientific™ DXR3xi Raman Imaging Microscope.
