Raman microscopy applied to polymer characterization: An overview
29 Sept 2020Raman microscopy is an excellent tool to address the polymer research. Raman microscopy can be used to characterize raw materials, to inline or outline monitor polymerization process, to investigate orientation and crystallization changes, and also to control the quality and traceability of genuine products, by understanding defects and compounds distribution. This application note present how HORIBA Raman microscopy solutions can support the polymer chemical and structural understanding.
