Terahertz technology might soon be introduced into the process and quality control for the polymer processing industry. Time-domain spectroscopy and a new algorithm for highly accurate data evaluation enable the precise in-line monitoring of additive content or the non-destructive testing of polymeric components. In return, materials on polymeric basis can provide valuable terahertz system components.
