  • Role of cl$^{[-10]}$ in photosynthetic oxygen-evolving complex was studied by light-induced Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. cl$^{[-10]}$ depletion resulted in the suppression of amide I and amide II IR modes upon S$_1$ to S$_2$ transition. Br$^{[-10]}$ , 1$^{[-10]}$ and N0$_3$$^{[-10]}$ substituted FTIR difference spectra were very similar to that in cl$^{[-10]}$ reconstitution. F$^{[-10]}$ and $CH_3$COO$^{[-10]}$ substituted spectra were largely distorted. We succeeded in detecting the structural change of N0$_3$ $^{[-10]}$ in the cl$^{[-10]}$ site upon the S$_1$ to S$_2$ transition from $^{14}$ N0$_3$$^{[-10]}$ /$^{15}$ N0$_3$$^{[-10]}$ difference spectrum.

  • The aim of this study was to investigate changes in the weight of Zophobas morio larvae and mass of polystyrene foam when the larvae were fed polystyrene for 27 days. Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectrometry was used to determine whether the polystyrene was broken down by the larvae. Forty Z. morio larvae (four replicates with 10 larvae per replicate) were reared in a chamber under controlled conditions with polystyrene foam blocks as their sole diet. The weight of the Z. morio larvae and mass of the polystyrene foam decreased as a function of time. The average weight of the larvae and mass of the polystyrene foam blocks decreased by 16.3 and 6.5%, respectively, over the 27-day period. The FTIR spectrum of Z. morio larvae fed with polystyrene foam did not reveal the unique peaks associated with polystyrene. In conclusion, this study suggests the possibility of using Z. morio larvae as a management technology for degrading waste plastics without a negative environmental effect. Key words : FTIR spectra, plastic biodegradation, polystyrene foam, Zophobas morio larvae.

  • FTIR(Fourier Transform Infrared) spectrometry is a useful method to obtain infrared spectra of materials in gas phase by registering the interferogram of a target material using an interferometer, and then performing a Fourier transform on the interferogram to obtain the spectrum. In this paper, sampling noise effect on signal processing of the rapid scan interferometer was studied with relation to sampling the interferogram points at the improper location and empirically verified.

  • In this study, microstructure and gel content (C-C) of polybutadiene rubber (PBR) were investigated using various techniques including ASTM D 3616, attenuated total reflectance Fourier transform infrared spectrometry (ATR FTIR), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR). The ATR FTIR spectra of the samples were investigated to determine the cis, trans, 1, 2-vinyl and the C-C gel content in PBR. The absorbance ratios of specific peaks in different grades of PBR were correlated with the C-C gel content measured by the ATR FTIR techniques. Physico-mechanical and rheological properties of rubber compounds based on BR with various amounts of gel were determined. The results showed that there is an acceptable correlation between these properties and the C-C gel content of PBR.

  • Metallized Polyimide films are extensively used as base materials in microelectronics, optical and automotive applications. However it is difficult to deposit metals on those because of their structural stabilities. In this work, polyimide films are modified by a wet process with alkalinemetalhydroxide and additives to introduce functional groups. The surface molecular structures of polyimide are investigated using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS), fourier transform infrared reflection spectroscopy(FTIR-ATR), atomic force micro-scopic(AFM). XPS spectra and FTIR spectra show that the surface structure of polyimide is converted into potassium polyamate. AFM image and AFM cross-sectional analyses reveal the increased roughness on the modified surface of polyimide films. As a result, it is shown that the adhesion strength between polyimide surface and electroless nickel layer is increased by the nano-anchoring effect.

  • High pressure FTIR and Raman spectra of soild $C_{70}$ were measured at pressure up to 11 GPa and room temperature. The slope (dv/dp) of the frequency-pressure plots for several IR and Raman mode changed around 1.5 GPa, where a solid-solid transition might occur. In IR study, we can observe new mode appeared around 777$cm^{-1}$1 above 5.5 GPa which might indicate another solid-solid transition. Our study showed that this transition might be irreversible.

  • Polyaddition reactions of 1,1-diethynyl-3-triethylsilyl-1-silacyclopent-3-ene with several organoborane derivatives have afforded the oligomeric materials containing organosilacyclic group and organoboron moiety along the oligomer main chains. All of these materials are soluble in THF as well as chloroform, and their molecular weights are in the range of 1,990/1,190-21,950/7,050 ($M_w/M_n$) with the polydispersity indexes of 1.67-3.43. The prepared oligomers are characterized by several spectroscopic methods such as $^1H,\;^{13}C, \;^{29}Si,\;^{11}B$ NMR and FTIR spectra along with elemental analysis. FTIR spectra of all the oligomers show that the new strong C=C stretching frequencies appear at 1599-1712 $cm^{-1}$, in particular. The UV-vis absorption spectra of the materials in THF solution exhibit the strong absorption bands at the ${\lambda}_{max}$ of 268-275 nm. The oligomeric materials show that the strong excitation peaks appear at the ${\lambda}_{max}$ of 255-279 nm and the strong fluorescence emission bands at the ${\lambda}_{max}$ of 306-370 nm. All the spectroscopic data suggest that the obtained materials contain both the organoboron ${\pi}$-conjugation moiety of C=C-B-C=C and the organosilacyclic group of 3-triethylsilyl-1-silacyclopent-3-ene along the oligomer main chains. The oligomers are thermally stable up to 162-200 $^{\circ}C$ under nitrogen.
