I am currently doing my master thesis and I have to analyse an IR spectrum of multiple samples. The given sample is supposed to be a specific polymer whose individual monomers i know. It is PBAT (polybutylene adipate terephthalate) which is a random co-polymer made of adipic acid, 1,4-butanediol and terephthalic acid.
Since I have a biology background and not that much chemistry i am struggling a little bit to do the IR spectrum analysis. I read that there are programs or tool with which one can simulate or predict an IR spectrum to compare that with experiment data of actual FTIR scans of the sample.
Anyone has a suggestion what to use or any other tips for me?
Thanks alot for helping out!
Best regards Dominik
I've used with great success for everything IR search: KnowItAll Analytical Edition Software - Wiley Science Solutions
Wiley is making KnowItAll available for campus-wide deployment. https://sciencesolutions.wiley.com/knowitall-campus-wide/ - this will put most of the data and the full software suite in the hands of researchers and students at an institution, with easy deployment. (Full disclosure - I work for Wiley Science Solutions).
