Congratulations to Jono, Sara and Keith who recently published a paper entitled “Evaluation of crystallinity in carbon fiber-reinforced poly(ether ether ketone) by using infrared low frequency Raman spectroscopy” in the Journal of Applied Polymer Science (2022) 139, 51677
https://doi.org/10.1002/app.51677
The work was led by visiting researcher Makoto Yamaguchi (Akita University); it shows how low frequency Raman spectroscopy may be used to determine the crystallinity in polymers that have a direct impact on the quality of the materials – Makoto was particularly interesting in polymers used in the aviation industry
