Mid-IR standoff measurement of ageing-related spectroscopic changes in bitumen in the 6 µm (1700 cm−1) region. Part 2: Instrument development and results

Abstract The development and experimental performance of instrumentation to measure ageing-related spectroscopic changes in bitumen is described. Oxidation of bitumen at the surface increases the number of carbonyl (C=O) bonds, and this can be measured in the 6 μm region (1700 cm−1) of the mid-infra...
