Identification of Cellulosic Fibres by FTIR Spectroscopy - Thread and Single Fibre Analysis by Attenuated Total Reflectance

Open access
Garside, Paul, Wyeth, Paul·2003·Studies in Conservation

Abstract

The accurate identification of fibres is of importance to conservators, allowing the most appropriate methods of treatment to be employed. This research has concentrated on the development of an ATR FTIR (attenuated total reflectance Fourier transform infrared) spectroscopic technique for the characterization of cellulosic (plant) fibres. Six species of fibre were examined, taken largely from the bast group (flax, hemp, jute and ramie), as well as cotton and sisal. Initially, unprocessed fibres were considered; subsequently, processed fibres from a variety of sources were examined. Peak intensity ratio techniques were employed to differentiate the fibre types on the basis of relative lignin content with respect to other cellular components. It was found that, for each of the species of fibre, the ratios fell within characteristic ranges.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
