Experiments involving the analytical chemistry of materials (with               special emphasis on polymers) and surfaces are being introduced in the          senior Instrumental Anaylsis course using Fourier transform infrared            spectroscopy.  Diffuse reflectance and photoacoustic detection is being         used to illustrate the analysis of opaque samples such as polymer               fibers, coal, soil, and minerals.  The analytical characterization of           surface species on polymer or metal surfaces is being illustrated using         specular reflectance and attenuated total reflectance.  Such                    experiments are illustrating the power of modern spectroscopic                  techniques as applied to complex, heterogeneous systems and are                 exposing the students to problems of a very practical "real world"              nature.                                                                                                                                                         The basics of computer controlled instrumentation is also being                 stressed.  The experiments are using spectral substraction and                  normalization software routines, as well as the spectral libraries for          the analysis of polymer mixtures.                                                                                                                               The grantee is matching the award from non-Federal sources.
