Abstract

At NIST Combinatorial Methods Center (NCMC) we are interested in the construction of material libraries that explore a range of polymer chemistries and properties. In this study we extend on-chip application of spectroscopic techniques to the analysis of monomer and polymeric systems. We have applied Raman and fluorescence spectroscopic techniques for high-throughput, combinatorial analysis of polymer droplets in microfluidic devices in order to establish a library of data to assess degree of polymerization and constituent concentration of a range of methacrylic monomer and cross-linker systems.
