Temperature Studies of Polycarbonate Using Fourier-Transform Raman-Spectroscopy
The temperature dependence of the Fourier transform Raman spectrum of polycarbonate has been investigated. C-O-C stretching and C-H stretching modes were found to be temperature-sensitive. The changes noted indicate the presence of a cis-trans conformation for the crystalline polymer, while the cis-cis conformation predominates in amorphous polycarbonate.
