A method based on micro attenuated total reflection (ATR) Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) is described to quantify inhomogeneity of plastic components in carbon fiber reinforced plastic material (CFRP). The investigated CFRPs contain an epoxy resin and a thermoplastic. Measurements on ground specimens at an inclined plane through the material allow the determination of the polymer distribution with a resolution of one micron regarding the depth. Three commercially available CFRPs (M18-1/G939, 8552/IM7, RTM 6) are characterized providing information on mechanical and thermal properties.
