Abstract
As a consequence of developing fully automated reactors for organic and organometallic synthesis and polymerizations combined with rapid on-line analysis, databases, and data mining, the analysis of polymers with respect to composition and properties has been speeded up. High-throughput evaluation of olefin copolymers requires fast measurements and high accuracy without tedious sample preparation such as pressing KBr pellets. This has been achieved by using attenuated total reflection Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR spectroscopy) in conjunction with multivariate calibration in order to determine the composition of olefin copolymers such as ethene/propene, ethene/1-hexene and ethene/1-octene copolymers.Keywords
