Real-time ATR-FT-IR monitoring of the self-stratifiable epoxy-silicone mixture

Attenuated Total Reflectance (ATR) Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (ATR-FT-IR) is a conventional analysis method in many areas of science and technology [1]. In-situreal-time monitoring of chemical and physical changes such as observing curing process and also self-stratification hascrucial importance [2]. It is well possible to use different wave number ranges with ATR-FT-IR spectroscopy and its usefulness in identificationof resin groups that migrate in the surface of bilayer films [3]. Descriptions in this paper are the experimental results obtained from the In-situ ATR investigations by tracing thegroup of the resins which leave bottom of the film. Such study on such incompatible mixtures leading to stratified and nonstratifiedfilms by using In-situ ATR spectroscopy are rarely noticed.
