A detailed study was performed to investigate the normal modes of vibration and their dispersions in poly (vinyl butyral) by using Urey-Bradley force field and Wilson's GF matrix method as modified by Higgs. It provides detailed interpretation of FTIR. Characteristic feature of dispersion curves such as regions of high density-of-states, repulsion and character mixing of dispersion modes are discussed. Predictive values of heat capacity as a function of temperature between 0-350 K have been evaluated.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
