| Sumario: | A meaningful characterization of the photo-induced curing process of materials based on styrene monomers functionalized with thymine and charged ionic groups was accomplished using FT-IR spectroscopy in combination with second-order multivariate calibration algorithms. The polymer composition as well as the irradiation dose effects on the photo-crosslinking of copolymer films was experimentally determined. Each FT-IR absorption spectra was decomposed into the contribution of individual species by means of chemometric algorithms. A second-order strategy involving a three-way array for each sample and analyzing all arrays simultaneously was used. Temperature and solvent frequently have a strong influence on the FT-IR peak producing shifts and trilinearity lost. A new methodology to properly pre-align the spectroscopic matrix data is used based on the decomposition of a three-way array via a suitably initialized and constrained PARAFAC model. The chemical reaction mechanism describing the underlying process in terms of identifiable steps was determined. Associated key parameters and equilibrium rate constants that characterize the interconversion and stability of diverse species were predicted. Additionally, it was possible to quantify all the species even in the presence of a non-calibrated compound. |
