15、method 4.1 General Organic molecules consist of atoms bonded together. Many bonds vibrate at a characteristic frequency in the infrared (IR) range. If a monochromatic IR beam impinges on the molecule and its frequency corresponds to a natural vibration frequency between functional groups, energy fro
16、m the beam is absorbed. Varying the wavelength of the beam therefore generates a series of absorption lines corresponding to the various molecular bonds. This set of lines forms a spectrum. The sample is subjected to a beam at all frequencies of interest and a computer determines which wavelengths h
17、ave been absorbed. The preferred method is Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR).

It can be used to: - identify the main organic functional groups of the molecule (carbonyl, ether, amine, epoxy etc.), - identify a material by comparison with reference
19、 spectra. 4.2 The Beer-Lambert law (Method of tangents) For any absorption line in the IR spectrum (see figure 11, a line can be drawn tangential to the transmission maxima on either side of the band. The absorption Beers law is then written: where: A is the absorbance I Io E C is the concentration
20、L is the transmittance at the maximum absorption within the band (see figure 1) is the transmittance read from the tangent at the maximum absorption wavelength (see figure li is the factor of absorption (characteristic of the bond generating the absorption) is the length of the optical path in the s
21、ample For a given absorption band, E and L are constant and absorbance A is therefore directly proportional to concentration C. 5 Designation of the method The designation of the method used shall be drawn up according to the following example : Description block Identity block Analysis of organic c

These instruments give the same type of spectrum. 6.1.1 Wavelength dispersi
23、on spectrophotometer An infrared polychromatic source generates a beam which is partially absorbed in the sample and then enters a monochromator. The output from the monochromator is a monochromatic beam with wavelength A. A detector measures the intensity of this beam and transmits the result to a
24、recorder. The monochromator scans the wavelength and the recorder thus produces the sample IR absorption spectrum. The spectral resolution at 3000 cm- shall be better than 5 cm- and at 1 O00 cm- better than 3 cm- . Copyright Association Europeene des Constructeurs de Materiel Aerospatial Provided by

26、verts a time periodic function into a frequency function. In the FTIR spectrophotometer, the optical dispersion system is replaced by an interferometer. The absorption spectrum A = f (A) is the Fourier transform of the interference diagram obtained; this operation is performed by a computer connecte
27、d to the spectrophotometer. FTIR spectroscopy offers the following advantages: - faster - better resolution (1 -2) cm? - more sensitive since the energy loss is lower and the detectors used are more sensitive - more suitable for sensitive materials that change with time. 6.1.3 Calibration The wavele
28、ngth and absorption shall be calibrated with the standards recommended by the instrument supplier (e.g. polystyrene film). 6.2 Sampling method Sampling procedures together with method specific apparatus and reagents are defined in annexes A to G. 7 Test specimen 7.1 Preparation In general terms, the
29、 sample analyzed shall be representative of the entire substance, .e. the quantity of each component it contains shall be reproducible. With reinforced products, it is usually necessary to eliminate the support (fibres or fabric), any mineral fillers and solvents using an appropriate process (extrac
30、tion of the solvent, evaporation, centrifuging etc) to isolate the resin system. Subsequently, take all precautions to obtain a homogeneous sample from a mixture of compounds, some of which tend to segregate. A resin system can contain some insolubles, some partially solubles and some entirely solub
31、les. 7.2 Storage The sample for analysis shall be stored under conditions such that it does not change between sampling and analysis or between two analyses. 8 Procedure The test shall be carried out at (23+2I0C and (50151% relative humidity (EN 2743 B conditions). Several infrared spectrophotometry
32、 methods can be used. The differences lie in the preparation and processing of the sample or the type of result expected. The Annexes describe special features of each method.

36、tization This method can be applied to solid or pasty substances even if not totally soluble. It is described in Annex D. It provides qualitative and semi-quantitative results. 8.5 Total dissolution This method can be used to determine the proportion of a component in a resin system by comparing the

The results can be interpretated in several ways, depending on how the sample analyzed was prepared. 9.1 Qualitat
41、ive interpretation This method is used to check, within the limits imposed by the method, the product by comparison with a reference spectrum given in the product specification or held on computer. The features checked are the appearance, disappearance or changes to the absorption bands. It is also
42、possible to identiy characteristic bands (functional groups) and thus usually identify, the major components. 9.2 Semi-quantitative interpretation Semi-quantitative interpretation involves measuring the intensity of the bands and then calculating the infrared indices. 9.2.1 Calculation of the infrar
43、ed index The infrared index expresses the concentration of one function relative to another. The index is determined from the absorbance ratio. - let E be the absorption band to be determined quantitatively. - a reference band R in the infrared spectrum is determined. - This band shall be invariable
44、: the bond shall be non-reactive and its intensity shall be independent of changes to the system - This band shall possess an absorbance of the same magnitude that of band E. The infrared index i, corresponding to band E is then calculated as follows: OE - calculate the absorbance A E- - log - IE OR
45、 - calculate the absorbance A R- - log - IR A AR - the infrared index iE is given by E = - (see figure 1) (see figure 1 ) This index i, is independent of the sample quantity and proportional to the concentration of chemical function E relative to that of chemical function R.

47、using known standard solutions which give a relation i, = f(C, 1, where CE is the concentration of the function or compound of which band E absorption is characteristic, it becomes possible to determine: - the proportion of certain functional groups, epoxy, amine, alcohol, - the proportion of one co
48、mpound relative to another. - with no calibration, the infrared indices can still be used to highlight variations in composition and the proportions of the functions. The validity of the infrared index measurement depends on the sampling quality and that of the IR spectrum. On average, the absorbanc
49、e in the bands measured shall be between 0,050 and 0,400. 9.3 Quantitative interpretation In this method, the absorbance in a band characteristic of the component being measured is compared to that obtained by calibration using a solution of known concentration. To this end, the Beer-Lambert law (see 4.2) is applied to the result of calibration us
