Detailed spectroscopic studies at the sub‐millimetre level of the chemical composition and morphology of materials can provide insights into the constitution, performance and properties of polymeric products. Infrared and Raman microscopy/microprobe spectroscopic techniques are invaluable tools for the spatially‐resolved identification, study and characterisation of polymers, their products and composites. The two vibrational spectroscopy techniques provide both complementary information and attributes to such investigations, which are discussed and exampled in this paper.
