This handbook provides a tool for the use of vibrational spectroscopy to analyze polymer structure and behavior, including how-to descriptions for new experimental and theoretical techniques. It proves a useful guide to solving problems polymer researchers encounter on a daily basis. Comprehensive and current coverage of polymer spectroscopy, with references to the modern literature Contains a compilation of spectra useful for the researcher in polymer and synthetic chemistry Discusses the uses of infrared and raman spectroscopy beyond simple composition analysis as well as using vibrational specotroscopy to study disordered and amorphous systems
