Polymer XPS Analysis with Avantage - Othman Lab

This tutorial explores how the ThermoScientific Avantage software was used to process and interpret the XPS data for porous polymers that I synthesized in Dr. Othman Al Hamouz's Lab. The following is discussed: 1) Introduction to the Avantage software 2) Some relevant XPS guidelines when analyzing polymers 3) Basics of fitting XPS spectra 4) The importance and application of fixed fitting parameters and boundary conditions 5) Demonstration using data from two projects 7) Iodine adsorption on porous polymers 8) Exporting data from Avantage
