Summer Research Program Investigated the Lewis Acid-Base Complexation of Polyamides 66 to Control Hydrogen Bonding, Extensibility and Crystallinity by using the FTIR and DSC. RESEARCH, Master Thesis Polymer Characterization: Crystallization Studies of Poly(trimethylene terephthalate) by Differential Scanning Calorimetry and FTIR Spectroscopy Conducted a series of experiments on the crystallization of poly(trimethylene terephthalate) films. Investigated the annealing and melt crystallization kinetics of PTT using the DSC and FTIR and compared with familiar polymers such PET and PBT. Reported a method on the crystallization measurement of an unknown sample using the infrared spectroscopy. For the first time, we have demonstrated that the Far Infrared spectroscopy (FIR) can be used to study microstructural properties of semicrystalline PTT films. FIR spectra of crystalline and amorphous phases of PTT have been obtained by a digital subtraction method and the bands associated with each phase have been identified. All subtractions were carried out using standard Ominic software. Selected IR bands were resolved using a peak fitting program (Jandell) to determine the area under the peaks. The bands were assumed to be Lorentzian in shape with a linear baseline. The Characterization of materials was performed using and interpreting: (DSC)Differential Scanning Calorimetry , (FTIR)Infrared Spectroscopy, (X-Ray)Powder X-Ray Diffraction, (OM)Optical Microscopy, (SEM)Scanning Electron Microcopy, (TGA)Thermal Gravimetric Analysis LAFARGE Construction Materials Corum, Turkey Laboratory Analyst, Internship May 2000-September 2000 Production: Cement Provided timely quality test results and observations based on chemical, physical and mineral analysis. Assisted environmental process and production of raw chemical materials for Lafarge and other Lafarge installations. Determined product quality of certain chemicals via X-Ray Diffraction technology.
