Abstract

Near infrared (NIR) spectra can give relevant information on the chemical and physical state of polymers and polymeric composites. Degree of cure, mechanism of reaction, crystallinity, orientation, water content and hydrogen bonding can be studied using NIR spectra without any sophisticated mathematical treatments. Some NIR applications are reviewed.
