TL;DR: The FT-IR-PAS technique in combination with PLS was found to accurately predict the contents of carbohydrates, i.e., xylose, glucose, mannose, arabinose, galactose, and hexenuronic acid residues, as well as the content of lignin measured in terms of K numbers and corrected K numbers of the pulps.
Abstract: In the present study, hardwood and softwood pulps were characterized by employing Fourier transform infrared photoacoustic spectroscopy (FT-IR-PAS). The pulp samples examined originated from Swedish sulfite and kraft pulp mills, which utilize different cooking processes and modern bleaching technologies. Partial least-squares (PLS) analysis was used to correlate the spectral data obtained with the kappa (K) numbers and carbohydrate compositions of the pulp samples determined by enzymatic hydrolysis and subsequent capillary zone electrophoresis. Using four principal components, the present PLS model based on photoacoustic FT-IR spectra could explain 85% of the variance in the X matrix and 81% of the variance in the Y matrix. The FT-IR-PAS technique in combination with PLS was found to accurately predict the contents of carbohydrates, i.e., xylose, glucose, mannose, arabinose, galactose, and hexenuronic acid residues, as well as the content of lignin measured in terms of K numbers and corrected K numbers of the pulps. From these predictions, the contents of xylan, glucomannan, and cellulose can also be predicted. The content of 4-O-methylglucuronic acid residues is, however, more difficult to predict accurately, using this approach.

TL;DR: This work used Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy to detect the surface species and the nature of surface chemical interactions and suggests that there is a direct correlation between the strength of surface-ligand interactions and interior crystallinity.
Abstract: Combined small-angle and high energy wide-angle x-ray scattering measurements of nanoparticle size and structure permit interior strain and disorder to be directly observed in the real-space pair distribution function (PDF). PDF analysis showed that samples of ZnS nanoparticle with similar mean diameters (3.2-3.6 nm) but synthesized and treated differently possess a dramatic range of interior disorder. We used Fourier transform infra-red spectroscopy to detect the surface species and the nature of surface chemical interactions. Our results suggest that there is a direct correlation between the strength of surface-ligand interactions and interior crystallinity.

TL;DR: The combination of the micrometer size and non-destructive nature of the techniques together with the high resolution and brilliance of the synchrotron radiation has proved to be a procedure most advantageous for the study of reaction, aging and degradation processes.

TL;DR: It is shown that short coherence interferometry has the potential to measure the three-dimensional distribution of the spatial structure of a sample with a resolution determined by the coherence length of the light source, absorption spectrum and a dispersion.
Abstract: A Fourier transform spectrometer is used to simultaneously measure distance, dispersion and spectrum. It is shown that short coherence interferometry has the potential to measure the three-dimensional distribution of the spatial structure of a sample with a resolution determined by the coherence length of the light source, absorption spectrum with a resolution of 1 cm−1 and a dispersion with a resolution of up to 1025.
