Abstract

The usefulness of the Nujol mull technique for quantitative infrared analysis of solids is often overlooked. When an internal standard is employed, the technique is accurate, generally applicable, and reliable Choice of internal standard, experimental procedures, general accuracy, limitations, and specific examples of quantitative analysis are discussed.
