Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy for irradiation coumarin doped polystyrene polymer films by alpha ray

Publication date: Available online 18 February 2016 Source:Journal of Radiation Research and Applied Sciences Author(s): Mahasin F. Hadi Al-Kadhemy, Zahraa S. Rasheed, Sanaa R. Salim FTIR spectroscopy has been in use broadly to study microscopic areas in polymers for the last years. The FTIR transmission spectra of coumarin laser dye, polystyrene and coumarin doped polystyrene films with different doping ratio of coumarin solution have been studied. These spectra measured and explained for all films before and after Alpha irradiation with different irradiation times. All samples prepared by casting method. FTIR corroborate chemical bonds of coumarin dye molecules and polystyrene films by producing an IR absorption spectrum when increasing doping ratio of coumarin solution and when irradiation by Alpha source. There are some bonds disappeared after irradiation.
