FTIR Spectroscopy
Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) Spectroscopy bases its functionality on the principle that almost all molecules absorb infrared light. Only the monatomic (He, Ne, Ar, etc) and homopolar diatomic (H2, N2, O2, etc) molecules do not absorb infrared light. Molecules only absorb infrared light at those frequencies where the infrared light affects the dipolar moment of the molecule. In a molecule, ...

FT-IR spectroscopy as a tool for identification of apoptosis-induced structural changes in A549 cells treated with PM 701
Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy has been found useful for detecting apoptotic changes induced in human lung cancer cells (A549) that treated with PM 701 (natural product) in tissue culture level. Characteristic bands alterations were identified in the apoptotic cells arising from cellular protein, lipid and DNA, there were specific changes that affected the secondary structure of ...

FTIR spectroscopy as a novel approach towards providing effect‐based endpoints in duckweed toxicity testing
Traditional duckweed toxicity tests only measure plant growth inhibition as an endpoint, with limited effects‐based data. This study aimed to investigate whether Fourier‐transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy could enhance the duckweed (Lemna minor L.) toxicity test. Four chemicals (Cu, Cd, atrazine, and acetochlor) and four metals‐containing industrial wastewater samples were tested. After ...

Adsorption and recovery of nonylphenol ethoxylate on a crosslinked β-cyclodextrin-carboxymethylcellulose polymer
A study of adsorption/recovery of nonylphenol 9 mole ethoxylate (NP9EO) on a crosslinked β-cyclodextrin-carboxymethylcellulose (β-CD-CMC) polymer was carried out by ultraviolet-visible (UV-vis) and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopies. The adsorption was performed in mixtures containing 500 mg of the β-CD-CMC polymer and aqueous NP9EO solutions at concentrations 12–82 mg/L, whereas ...

Legal high detection and the Quest ATR | Spectroscopy Solutions
Narcotic and legal high detection using FTIR spectroscopy is an established technique. We have an application note on the analysis of cocaine and cannabis using the Quest ATR spectrometer accessory and even an older application note on various drugs being analyzed using the Golden Gate ATR spectrometer accessory. Watch Mia's work at Staffordshire University in the video below. We recently leant ...

Dry and wet methods of silicon dioxide surface functionalisation with 3–aminopropyl trimethoxysilane: application to fullerene C
60anchoringIn this work, we have studied the formation of self–assembled monolayers (SAM) of 3–aminopropyltrimethoxysilane (APTMS), chemically bound to silicon dioxide surface, prepared using a deposition from both solution and a new solvent–free process, using contact angle measurements, ellipsometry, ATR–FTIR spectroscopy and AFM imaging. In the first part, we have analysed the grafting kinetics of APTMS ...

Enhanced removal of Hg(II) from acidic aqueous solution using thiol-functionalized biomass
Spent grain, the low-cost and abundant biomass produced in the brewing industry, was functionalized with thiol groups to be used as an adsorbent for Hg(II) removal from acidic aqueous solution. The adsorbents were characterized by the energy-dispersive X-ray analysis (EDAX) and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. Optimum pH for Hg(II) adsorption onto the thiol-functionalized spent ...

Fabrication of metal nanowires based on self assembly of tryptophan-capped gold nanoparticle onto DNA network template
In this study, synthesis of conductive metal nanowires by using aligned and immobilised DNA strand on solid substrate is reported. The nanoporous gold film was prepared by electrostatic self assembly of gold nanoparticles capped with tryptophan. Tryptophan would improve surface properties of gold nanoparticles for strongly attaching to DNA. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy confirmed ...

On the Application of Open-Path Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy to Measure Aerosols: Observations of Water Droplets
ABSTRACT This paper proposes the application of Open-Path Fourier Transform Infra-Red (OP-FTIR) spectroscopy to measure aerosols. A preliminary experiment conducted in a standard shower chamber generated a condensed water aerosol cloud. The OP-FTIR beam acquired spectra through the cloud of water droplets. We matched calculated extinction spectra to measured extinction in the spectral range ...

Polymer brushes for improvement of dry adhesion in biomimetic dry adhesives
Geckos' feet are extensively micro–structured, enabling geckos to adhere strongly to most surfaces and perform various manoeuvres even while upside down. Inspired by the structure of geckos' feet, a large number of biomimetic dry adhesives have been reported. Polymers brushes can offer a molecular scale attachment to surfaces; here we studied the effect of polymer brushes on adhesion. Atom ...

Detection of early PFA seals (perfluoroalk-oxyethylene) degradation exposed to process gases inside a reactor chamber
Problem Statement Replacement of PFA seals inside the reactor chamber is performed according scheduled maintenance and life expectancy of the seals. Early degradation of seals goes completely undetected until there is a complete failure of the seal, letting atmospheric contaminants inside the reactor and forcing an unscheduled reactor downtime. IRGAS Applicability The IRGAS Turnkey Gas ...

Preparation of composite coagulant of PFM-PDMDAAC and its coagulation performance in treatment of landfill leachate
A novel inorganic–organic composite coagulant, poly-ferric-magnesium (PFM) polydimethyldiallylammonium chloride (PDMDAAC), was prepared using FeSO4, MgSO4 and PDMDAAC as raw materials and was introduced to treat landfill leachate. The coagulation performance of the new reagent was evaluated and compared with those of other coagulants. The new reagent was characterized in terms of the ...
