  • Scofield’s relative sensitivity factors. The FTIR spectra were recorded in transmission mode with a Bruker Vertex 70v vacuum FTIR spectrometer over the wavenumber range of 4000–400 cm−1. A 7 mm thick KBr discs were prepared under high pressure by mixing the powdered samples with KBr powder. Samples for AFM

  • KBr window, while the other side is closed by a gold mirror. The IR beam coming from the MIR source crosses the KBr window and the plasma phase to reach the opposite side of the section and be reflected by the mirror. After reflection, the IR beam crosses again the plasma region to be collected by the
  • detector behind the KBr window allowing an in situ multi-reflection FTIR spectroscopy with 26 passes through the plasma region corresponding to an optical length of around 31.2 m. The data reported here are obtained with a resolution of 0.2 cm−1. The chemical composition of the fluorinated vCNT is
