Abstract
Computerized infrared analysis is applied to the characterization of a glass‐reinforced crosslinked polyester. The method of factor analysis determines the number of independent components which constitute the polymeric matrix. Subsequently, the spectra of those components are fitted by a least‐squares criterion to spectra of the multicomponent matrix, or, if the glass spectrum is included as an additional component, to the spectra of composites. The least‐squares coefficients yield the matrix composition in terms of the initial reactant composition and the extent of crosslinking.
