Materials characterization is often performed under standard laboratory conditions. However, this can lead to an incomplete view of the structure, chemistry, and overall properties of a material system under its eventual “real-world operating conditions.” To address this gap, researchers may employ strategies to collect their data under “in situ” conditions where temperature, pressure, and chemical composition of the atmosphere are controlled. This talk will present examples where in situ molecular spectroscopy methods are used to develop a deeper understanding across problems in polymer science, catalysis, applied materials, and civil engineering.
