Development and Use of Time Resolved Spectroscopy.

Abstract

The research reported demonstrates the application of Time Resolved Spectroscopy (TRS) to dynamic conditions in polymers. The Michelson's interferometer and Fourier Transform Spectroscopy (FTS) were employed in this study. TRS technique involves the coordination of reaction stimulation, e.g., pulsed laser excitation of gases or stretching and relaxation in polymers, and the recording of the interferogram at some unit time after stimulation. In the cases of gases, for versatility the reaction vessel is designed to allow either emission or absorption studies. Time resolved spectroscopy provides a very attractive means for the elucidation of the structure of reaction intermediates and products, because this technique provides sufficient data for examination of the band shapes of materials and deduction of the energy distributions within the molecules for successive times during reaction.
