Applications of Diffuse Reflectance FT-IR to Pigment Photodecomposition in Paint

Abstract

Diffuse reflectance FT-IR spectroscopy is used to obtain infrared spectra of paints directly on paper panels. The binder contribution to the spectrum can be effectively eliminated by spectral subtraction and the spectra of photodecomposition products are obtained. Comparison with reference spectra allows the determination of the photodecomposition mechanism.
