Abstract
Optically generated thermal waves propagating in various kinds of polymers (adhesives, coatings, fiber reinforced polybutyleneterephthalate, oriented polyethylene) are analyzed by photothermal detection. Some results from this remote technique are difficult to obtain by conventional methods.Keywords
