Confocal Raman Microscopy for the Depth Profiling of Polymer/Polymer and Polymer/Glass Interfaces

摘要

Confocal Raman microscopy (CRM) has recently developed into a routine tool for the depth profiling of polymeric materials, providing microscopic (molecular) level characterisation of surfaces and interfaces. A spatial resolution of 1 - 2 mu m is easily attainable with modern instrumentation. The use of such an instrument is illustrated by describing recent work from the author's laboratory.
