The Infrared Spectra of Polymers, VII: Polymers with Carbonyl (C=O) Bonds
Brian C. Smith
Abstract
We continue our survey of the infrared (IR) spectra of polymers with a look at the spectra of polymers that contain carbonyl or C=O bonds. Our long-term goal is to examine the spectra of polymers that contain ketone, carboxylic acid, ester, and carbonate linkages. Studying these spectra is vital, because these molecules are important economically and are ubiquitous in society.
