Abstract

Various techniques heretofore have been used in preparing cured thermoplastics for infrared analysis. Foremost among these techniques are: (1) dissolving in a solvent and casting of a film, (2) mulling, (3) pyrolysis, and (4) pressed disks. These techniques may be laborious, time-consuming, or impractical for materials that are difficult or impossible to dissolve, mull, or pelletize.
