Determination of Filter Content in Thermoplastic Composites by FTIR Analysis
FTIR quantitative analytical method is described as an alternative technique for computation of the filler content in polypropylene composites. White rice husk ash (WRHA) was incorporated as a filler material into polypropylene homopolymer. Absorption peaks at 480, 621, and 790 cm(-1) chosen for the quantitative analysis work have been shown to give good linearity with increasing filler contents.
