• A review on the degradability of polymeric composites based on natural fibres (2013, methodology): “Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy monitors the development of degradation products, such as carbonyl groups and vinyl groups, and to determine changes in polymer crystallinity [59].”
• Contributions of Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy in microplastic pollution research: A review (2020, methodology): “The degree of crystallinity of polymer is a key variable in defining the morphological, physical and mechanical properties of the MP. Crystallinity is calculated by the method used in Stark and Matuana (2004).”
• Characterization of weathered wood–plastic composite surfaces using FTIR spectroscopy, contact angle, and XPS ☆ (2007, positive): “Deconvoluted peak assignments with corresponding binding energy and bond type are shown in Table 1. An oxygenated to unoxygenated carbon ratio (Cox/unox) was calculated using Eq. (2) [ 10 ].”
