Omid Amiri

You can apply pressure like prepare pellets for FT-IR measurement.

Mohd Asif

Dear Omid Amiri,

For FT-IR measurements, we use KBr as binding agent. I tried making pellets without any binder but pellets broke as soon as I removed them from die.

Thanks for the answer.

Lina L. Sartinska

You will get oxides on the surface of nanopowders and change composition In the case of water. It is difficult to make pellets without binder. So, you should create bypass. You should produce 10 pellets with different binders: With oxygen, without oxygen, protonic and aprotonic heptane gecsan and so on. Measurements will show effect of binders on your properties more or less
