Abstract
A study was conducted to investigate the feasibility of using Fourier transform infrared spectrometer (FT-IR), to quantify the tape-stripping samples of tripropylene glycol diacrylate (TPGDA). The TPGDA samples were quantified by collecting simulated investigative data from a number of human subjects in a laboratory. Infrared spectra collection was performed, using a Fourier transform infrared spectrometer, with a mid-infrared deuterated triglycine sulfate detector (MIR-DTGS). It was operated in the transmittance mode and fifty scans were collected at 4 cm-1 resolution for each spectrum. A sampling holder was placed at the focus of the IR beam. It was observed that the diameter of the IR beam passing through the holder was 0.8 cm. Ten human subjects, with healthy skin also participated in the investigations. The subjects were asked to avoid washing with any detergent, or putting lotions on their forearms the night before conducting each test.
