Due to the versatility of CNCs and CNC-derived materials, there is increasing importance in characterizing their properties using spectroscopic techniques. These spectroscopic techniques include solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron (XPS) spectroscopy, and Raman spectroscopy.

It is fundamental to measure the critical micelle concentration (CMC) as a parameter for characterizing surfactants. Spectroscopic methods for determination of CMC are more common, easier to perform, and in certain applications more accurate. In this review, different spectroscopic techniques and methods used for determination of CMC are discussed. These methods include direct UV/VIS Spectroscopy, which studies liquid surface curvature in thin wells using vertical detecting light beam with the wavelength set at 900 nm. The indirect UV/VIS Spectroscopic methods include using surface plasmon resonance or surface-enhanced Raman scattering of metal nanoparticles. Direct spectrofluorometric methods measure CMC based on the intrinsic fluorescence of the tested surfactants, and it was reserved for surfactants with intrinsic fluorescence such as Triton-X100. Indirect spectrofluorometric methods include measuring the change in fluorescence intensity, spectral shape, lifetime, polarization, or the solvatochromic shift of surfactant-dye solution. Other spectroscopic methods have been reported such as X-ray diffraction, nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and small-angle neutron scattering. This review article discusses the spectroscopic methods developed for CMC determination with emphasis on the principle, applications, advantages, and limitations of each method.","PeriodicalId":8100,"journal":{"name":"Applied Spectroscopy Reviews","volume":"6 1","pages":"206 - 234"},"PeriodicalIF":6.1,"publicationDate":"2021-07-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77060688","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

FTIR spectroscopy is used to screen cells, tissues and biofluids and is already implemented in biomedicine, mainly in pre-clinical setting. Although the experimental procedure is easy to implement, sample preparation, definition of spectra acquisition parameters and spectral analysis are crucial steps to obtain reliable and reproducible results. However, the selection of experimental conditions for spectral analysis can be a difficult task for researchers because the information is dispersed and often the choice is made in an empirical and inaccurate way. This review gathers and summarizes studies using FTIR in pre-clinical and clinical setting and aims to systematize information and propose some guidelines for FTIR spectroscopy studies of biological samples. This will help new users to prepare samples for FTIR analysis and understand the critical steps to correctly perform spectra pretreatment, preprocessing and statistical analysis and to implement appropriate and evidence-based experimental designs.","PeriodicalId":8100,"journal":{"name":"Applied Spectroscopy Reviews","volume":"163 1","pages":"869 - 907"},"PeriodicalIF":6.1,"publicationDate":"2021-07-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86446258","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The prevalence of MetS is increasing in epidemic proportions in both developed and developing countries. MetS increment has been paralleled by the growing epidemic of type-2 diabetes, hypertension, cardiovascular disease, and obesity. Raman spectroscopy is a noninvasive optical technique that has been used in MetS and associated diseases as an alternative to more invasive routine laboratory studies. Raman Spectroscopy's medical diagnosis application is based on the fact that the molecular composition of healthy tissues or biofluids changes due to disease. Identifying biomarkers with this technique can be used for early diagnosis, monitoring disease evolution, and response to treatment. This article reviews recent applications which demonstrate the potential of Raman spectroscopy in the assessment of MetS diseases.","PeriodicalId":8100,"journal":{"name":"Applied Spectroscopy Reviews","volume":"81 1","pages":"159 - 179"},"PeriodicalIF":6.1,"publicationDate":"2021-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80491666","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Cost-effective, accurate, and rapid tests are needed in order to improve diagnostics and patient care, to decrease the use of unnecessary antimicrobial agents, to prevent resistant microbials, and to decrease the overall burden of outbreaks.

Spectroscopy with nondestructive, rapid, and high throughput characteristics has been applied to plant disease detection. Spectral detection systems are divided into three categories according to the spectrometer's carrying platform: portable hand-held spectrometer, airborne vehicle-mounted spectrometer, and large laboratory spectrometer. This review summarized three main spectral detection systems and their advantages and disadvantages in detecting various diseases of forestry and fruit trees: including detection of the single disease, multiple stress, and early disease using Visible/near-infrared, Raman, and hyperspectral imaging.

However, the resultant bio-oils contain various oxygenated compounds that can impart acidity, chemical and thermal instability, and immiscibility with petroleum derived fuels, necessitating further upgrading to derive fuel blendstocks. Co-processing bio-oils and petroleum-derived liquids in existing refineries is a potentially near-term, cost-effective approach for upgrading bio-oils while reducing refinery carbon intensities. However, one cause for hesitation in co-processing bio-oils is limited comprehensive characterization and speciation of the bio-oil components. Advanced analytical techniques are currently under investigation to enable identification of elusive species in bio-oils, enabling researchers to develop strategies to mitigate catalyst deactivation agents and contaminants. This review provides a brief overview of several analytical methods commonly used to analyze bio-oils and their limitations. In addition, advanced techniques currently under development are discussed to further elucidate bio-oil components that may limit its end use.
