Figure 1. Mid-IR spectra of common polymers.

Figure 1 shows the IR spectra of several common polymers: polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), polystyrene (PS), and
polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), measured using the PerkinElmer Spectrum Two FT-IR with UATR sampling accessory. The clear
differences between the spectra allow a ready discrimination between the materials by visual inspection. Additional interpretation of
the spectra can yield information about the structure: for example, looking at the C–H stretch region around 2950 cm -1, differences
can be seen between PE and PP due to the differing ratios of CH 2 and CH3 groups. PS has bands above 3000 cm -1, indicating the
presence of aromatic groups. PTFE has no C–H groups at all, so the very weak bands present must be due to impurities or surface
contamination.
