spectrophotometer,
under the following conditions: d/8
measurement geometry, measurement wavelength range
from 400 nm to 700 nm, measurement area of 12 mm in
ATR-FTIR spectra of prints were obtained using the
PerkineElmer Spectrum One FT-IR spectrometer with
Golden Gate ATR attachment with diamond crystal.
The absorbance measurements were carried out in the
range 600 cm1e4000 cm1, with 10 scans and resolution
of 4 cm1. The decrease in butadiene copolymer
binders’ double bonds at a wavelength at 967 cm1 were
measured [19e22]. For semi-quantitative measurements,
the infrared spectra of the printed cotton fabrics were
normalised against the 1314 cm1 band, which can be
associated with the bending vibration mode of hydrocarbon
structures in cellulose molecules [17,18]. In all
measurements the bands limits were adjusted manually.
The baseline limits were 980 cm1e960 cm1. Perkine
Elmer Spectrum V3.02 software was used in the
calculation procedures.
