FT-IR SUPPLEMENT ARTICLES
Using Near-Infrared Spectroscopy to Monitor the Curing Reaction of Silicone Adhesives
N. Pemberger, L.K.H. Bittner, and C.W. Huck
Quality control of silicones used in medicinal implants is challenging, and traditional methods waste a lot of raw material. In this study, NIR spectroscopy has been used to replace the traditional rheometric measurements, with excellent results. The NIR method enables improved quality control and a more economical process.

In Situ FT-IR Analysis of Soils for Forensic Applications
A.H. Jean Robertson, Angela M. Main, Lucinda J. Robinson, and Lorna A. Dawson
Although handheld FT-IR spectrometers now make it possible to carry out field-based FT-IR analysis of soils at a crime scene, reliable and tested protocols are not yet available for such work. Here, we discuss sampling options and describe tests of a methodology that is being developed for in situ FT-IR analysis of soil samples.

Applications of Infrared Multiple Angle Incidence Resolution Spectrometry
David Drapcho and Takeshi Hasega
Infrared multiple angle incidence resolution spectroscopy (IR MAIRS) provides a powerful new tool to determine the molecular structure and orientation in a thin film on an IR-transparent substrate. The MAIRS technique replaces a tedious, and sometimes impossible, combination of sample preparation and analysis of identical films on both transparent and reflective substrates.
