Abstract/Summary:
In this project, laser printer toners were analyzed using diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy (DRIFTS). The purpose of this research was to evaluate DRIFTS as a method for differentiating laser printer toners. The spectra were collected, differentiated, and classified based on distinguishing peaks of absorption. A library of spectra of laser printer toners was produced, which was tested by re-running several samples and comparing their spectra to the library.
