Application and progress of Fourier transform attenuated total reflection infrared spectroscopy

With the application of Fourier transform infrared spectrograph and the development of chemical metrology, Fourier Transform Attenuated Total Reflection Infrared spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR) has become a kind of beneficial tool and means for analyzing samples, for which traditional transmission way does not work quite effectively, and for analyzing surface layer structure. ATR-FTIR has been applied to every realm such as spinning and weaving, quality testing, public security and so on. At present, people are launching applied study based on specific property of ATR-FTIR. Therefore, this paper mainly introduced the present study situation and development situation of ATR-FTIR, including theoretical development for depth profiling, qualitative analysis of material surface, quantitative analysis of mixture and solution component, and the application of fiber as ATR appurtenance. In addition, some special fields were also involved, such as inspecting hollow cored fiber's structure and change of orientation, and studying effective mechanism about skin promoter.
