Analysis of Composite Films using FTIR
Composite films are mainly used for the packaging of food where many requirements have to be met in order to preserve taste and freshness of the product. Packaging needs to prevent water vapor from entering or leaving the packaging. FTIR Microscopy allows for the identification of different materials in composite films and can determine their distributions. Furthermore, defects in polymer matrix can also be localized and identified.
Pittcon 2025: Christian Huck Discusses Near-Infrared Spectroscopy in Food Analysis
March 6th 2025At Pittcon, Spectroscopy sat down with Christian Huck of the University of Innsbruck to talk about how NIR and imaging spectroscopy are being used in food and bioanalysis, and where this industry is heading in the future.
Advanced Optical Fiber Sensor Enhances Wind Turbine Vibration Monitoring
March 5th 2025Researchers have developed a high-sensitivity optical fiber vibration sensor based on Fabry-Perot (F-P) interference, designed to improve wind turbine tower monitoring. This innovation addresses issues with traditional electrical sensors and has strong potential for integration into the Internet of Things (IoT) for real-time structural health monitoring.
