    1. 110. A Novel Soft Contact Piezo-Controlled Liquid Cell for Probing Polymer Films under Confinement using Synchrotron FTIR Microspectroscopy

      Oral

      Soft polymer films, such as polyelectrolyte multilayers (PEMs), are useful coatings in materials science. The properties of PEMs often rely on the degree of hydration, and therefore the study of these films in a hydrated state is critical to allow links to be drawn between their characteristics and performance in a particular application. In this work, we detail the development of a novel...

    2. 98. High-Resolution Macro ATR-FTIR Chemical Imaging Capability at Australian Synchrotron IR Beamline and Its Applications in Food Science
      Dr Jitraporn (Pimm) Vongsvivut (Australian Synchrotron)

      Technique Development
      Oral

      This work presents advances in high-resolution chemical imaging capability at Australian Synchrotron Infrared (IR) beamline, achieved through the use of an in-house developed synchrotron macro ATR-FTIR microspectroscopic device (1). The device was developed by modifying the cantilever arm of a standard macro-ATR unit to accept germanium (Ge) ATR elements with different contact facet sizes...

    3. 97. Four-angle polarisation-resolved transmission FTIR mapping for materials orientation analysis
      23/11/2018, 14:00
      Technique Development
      Oral

      Molecular orientation in polymeric and composite materials can play a significant role in overall mechanical performance. Infrared absorption by specific functional groups occurs preferentially when the electric vector of the probing beam is aligned with the dipole oscillation corresponding to the absorbing frequency, and can therefore be used to gain information on the molecular orientation...

    4. 58. Periodic Density Functional Theory for the Prediction of Terahertz Spectra
      Courtney Ennis (La Trobe University)

      Technique Development
      Oral

      Accurate simulation of low-frequency fundamental and lattice modes, as obtained from terahertz and far-infrared spectroscopy of crystalline molecular solids, has long proved difficult. Long-range intermolecular interactions in the solid-state are notoriously difficult to model, resulting in deviation from experimental frequencies obtained from thin films and aerosols. In this talk, we present...
