Raman Spectroscopy

Renishaw inVia Raman Microscope

• 532nm solid-state laser
• adjustable polarisation of incident laser
• microscope objectives up to 80x ultra-long-working-distance.

Vibrational spectroscopy (Infrared and Raman) can provide a wide range of information about the structure and chemical composition of polymers (as well as other materials); e.g.

• identification of atomic groups present
• relative concentrations of two or more components
• molecular conformation
• molecular orientation
• tacticity
• degree of crystallinity
• distribution of stress in polymers or composites
