This proposal is for funding to obtain an FTIR spectrometer with attenuated total reflectance (ATR) attachment for the analysis of thin films.  This will be the only instrument at UBC for conducting these types of experiments, which are especially necessary for ultra-thin films. The proposed instrument will be used primarily for the investigations of the PIs in areas of supramolecular materials, conducting polymer chemistry, and medicinal chemistry.  As many of the materials being developed in the PIs' laboratories are in the form of thin films, their analysis by standard IR techniques is uninformative.  ATR offers the ability to probe thin films from the surface, with a significant enhancement in the signal.  This technique will allow analysis of thin films that are attached to non-transparent substrates, such as gold. The PIs have active research groups, with more than 25 members now carrying out research projects under their guidance.  The proposed instrumentation will play a central role in the training of these scientists, as well as other researchers at UBC.

该提案旨在资助获得一台用于薄膜分析的带有衰减全反射（ATR）附件的FTIR光谱仪。这将是UBC唯一一台用于进行此类实验的仪器，这对超薄薄膜尤为必要。该仪器将主要用于研究超分子材料、导电聚合物化学和药物化学领域的PI。由于PI实验室正在开发的许多材料都是薄膜形式的，因此通过标准IR技术对其进行分析是没有信息的。ATR提供了从表面探测薄膜的能力，这种技术将允许分析附着在不透明基底上的薄膜，例如金。PI拥有活跃的研究小组，目前有超过25名成员在他们的指导下开展研究项目。拟议的仪器将在培训这些科学家以及UBC的其他研究人员方面发挥核心作用。
