Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy for Natural Fibres

Infrared spectroscopy is nowadays one of the most important analytical techniques available to scientists. One of the greatest advantages of the infrared spectroscopy is that virtually any sample in any state may be analyzed. For example, liquids, solutions, pastes, powders, films, fibres, gases and surfaces can all be examined with a judicious choice of sampling technique. The review by Annette, Sudhakar, Ursula and Andrea [1-2] also demonstrates the applicability of dispersion infrared spectroscopy for natural fibres studies.
