研究目的
To propose a nondestructive method for evaluating polymer composites using near-infrared (NIR) diffuse reflection spectroscopy with multiple ground plates to simultaneously assess particulate-filler concentrations and sizes.
研究成果
The proposed method successfully determined the absorption and reduced scattering coefficients of PDMS/silica composites, enabling simultaneous evaluation of particulate-filler concentrations and sizes. The absorption coefficients showed a linear relationship with particle concentration, and the reduced scattering coefficients agreed with Mie scattering theory predictions. The method offers a rapid, nondestructive approach for quality control of polymer composites.
研究不足
The method assumes negligible wavelength dependency of the refractive index in the NIR region and does not account for the effect of scatterers on internal reflection coefficients. The accuracy of scattering coefficients before reflection corrections was lower than theoretical values.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study utilized NIR diffuse reflection spectroscopy with multiple ground plates to measure wavelength-dependent absorption and reduced scattering coefficients. A two-flux theory-based physical model was employed to describe light propagation in translucent medium.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Translucent polymer composites were prepared from polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) and spherical silica particles. NIR spectra were measured using a push-broom hyperspectral imaging spectrometer.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Hyperspectral imaging spectrometer (Compovision, Sumitomo Electric Industries, Ltd.), standard reflectance ground plates (Spectralon, Labsphere, Inc.), PDMS (SILPOT 184 W/C, Dow Corning Toray Co., Ltd.), spherical silica particles (Adomatech Co., Ltd.).
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
Samples were placed on various ground plates, and NIR diffuse reflection spectra were measured. Image processing was used to align sample positions, and spectra were analyzed to calculate absorption and scattering coefficients.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
The spectra were fitted using a two-flux theory-based model to decouple absorption and scattering coefficients, with corrections for external and internal reflections.
