Prediction of polyethylene density from FTIR and Raman spectroscopy using multivariate data analysis

To contribute to the targeted 10 million tons per year of recycled plastic in Europe by 2025 and to improve the mechanical sorting degree of polyethylene (PE) products, density prediction models were developed from Fourier transform infrared-attenuated total reflectance (FTIR-ATR) and Raman spectros...
