What is Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR)?
FTIR is an analytical technique used to identify organic, polymeric, and in some cases, inorganic materials by measuring the absorption of infrared radiation by the material's molecules. The technique involves passing an infrared light through a sample and recording the absorbance or transmittance data, which is then transformed using a mathematical algorithm known as the Fourier Transform to produce a spectrum.
