METHOD FOR CLASSIFYING SCIENTIFIC MATERIALS SUCH AS SILICATE MATERIALS, POLYMER MATERIALS AND/OR NANOMATERIALS
First Claim
1. A method for characterizing a scientific material such as a silicate material, a polymer material and/or nanomaterial comprising the following steps:
- a) irradiating a measuring light of a predetermined wavelength range into material specimens,b) recording of the measuring light reflected and/or reemitted by the material specimens,c) determining a ratio depending on the wave lengths of irradiated to detected measuring light (spectrum), andd) numerical-mathematical processing of spectral data of each material specimen for determining the characteristic features of the material specimens.

Abstract
A method is provided for characterizing a scientific material, such as a silicate material, a polymer material and/or nanomaterial. The method can include the steps of irradiating a measuring light of a predetermined wavelength range into material specimens, recording the measuring light reflected and/or reemitted by the material specimens, determining a ratio depending on the wave lengths of irradiated to detected measuring light (spectrum), and numerical-mathematical processing of spectral data of single material specimens for determining the characteristic features of the material specimens.

9. A method for characterizing a scientific material such as a silicate material, a polymer material and/or nanomaterial comprising the following steps:
-
a) providing a plurality of material classes each with a plurality of calibration and material specimens per class with a plurality of known class-characteristics; b) irradiating a measuring light of a predetermined wavelength range into the material specimen; c) recording of the measuring light passed through, reflected, reemitted and/or scattered by the material specimens; d) determining a ratio depending on the wave lengths of irradiated to detected measuring light (spectrum) for each material specimen of a class; e) numerical-mathematical processing of spectral data of each material specimen; f) correlating the spectra of a majority of material specimens with a predetermined material class; g) creating a database with the processed spectral data with different material classes based on the material specimens measured of individual classes for calibration of a class correlation; h) repeating steps b) to e) at least once with at least one material sample with at least partially unknown characteristics; and i) determining the material classes to which the unknown material specimen is related, by means of a class correlation of the spectra measured using the created calibration database from step g). - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23)
