DETERMINATION OF MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF POLYMER PRODUCTS USING RAMAN SPECTROSCOPY

摘要

A process for determining mechanical properties of polymer products. A Raman spectrum of the at least one polymer product is recorded and the at least one mechanical property of the polymer product is calculated from the Raman spectrum of the at least one polymer product. This provides a rapid, noninvasive and reproducible method which does not require sample preparation and is suitable for mechanical characterization of polymer products and for use in high throughput screening.
