Description
Poly(furfuryl alcohol) (PFA), produced through polymerization of furfuryl alcohol, is a thermosetting polymer and basis of thermoset resin systems, and it has been investigated in several studies (IR, 13C-NMR, Raman, DSC), new aspects being considered each time. The target of the present study, performed within the Interreg Italy Austria project ITAT1023 InCIMa and ITAT1059 InCIMa4, is the investigation of the presence and the grade of cross-linking and of conjugation in thermosetted PFA in comparison to the pristine, viscous PFA by using multi-wavelength Raman spectroscopy in the visible and in the ultraviolet spectral range, and additionally by Raman spectra simulations via first-principles and semi-empiric methods.
