Description
John Wiley Infrared Spectroscopy Fundamentals and Applications 2004 Edition by Barbara H. Stuart
This work provides an introduction to those needing to use infrared spectroscopy for the first time, explaining the fundamental aspects of this technique, how to obtain a spectrum and how to analyse infrared data covering a wide range of applications. It includes instrumental and sampling techniques; covers biological and industrial applications; and, includes suitable questions and problems in each chapter to assist in the analysis and interpretation of representative infrared spectra. It is part of the "ANTS (Analytical Techniques in the Sciences) Series". Table of contents :- Series Preface.Preface.Acronyms, Abbreviations and Symbols.About the Author.1.
