SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on characterization techniques for a multilayer coating consisting of a polymer substrate, a polymer binder, and a metal layer. Participants recommend using Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (EDX) or X-ray Fluorescence (XRF) to analyze the elemental composition of the metal layer. Additionally, Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) combined with Raman spectroscopy is suggested for examining the organic layers. These methods provide comprehensive insights into both the organic and inorganic components of the coating.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of polymer substrates and coatings
  • Familiarity with characterization techniques such as FTIR, EDX, and XRF
  • Knowledge of spectroscopy principles, particularly Raman spectroscopy
  • Basic concepts of material science related to coatings
NEXT STEPS
  • Research Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (EDX) for elemental analysis
  • Explore X-ray Fluorescence (XRF) techniques for coating characterization
  • Learn about Raman spectroscopy applications in polymer analysis
  • Investigate the use of X-ray Diffraction (XRD) for structural analysis of coatings
USEFUL FOR

Material scientists, coatings engineers, and researchers involved in polymer and metal layer characterization will benefit from this discussion.

Hi everyone,

can anybody suggest a characterization technique for a coating layer.

i have a polymer substrate, then coated with polymer binder, than coated with metal.

if i using FTIR i only obtain spectra for organic which is polymer.
can i use XRD, XPS ...?

any suggestion with good explanation are most welcome.

:)

Hi, You can try finding out the elemental composition of the metal layer, e.g. by EDX or XRF. IR with Raman is fine for the organic layers.
