ABSTRACT:The application of liquid chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry (LC-MS) for the analysis of epoxy resins is shown in two examples. Electro spray (ESI) and atmospheric pressure chemical ionization (APCI) are compared with respect to the ionization of diglycidylether of bisphenol A-based (DGEBA) epoxy resins. By-products in a typical modified solid DGEBA-based epoxy resin and in a new weatherable crosslinker for powder coating applications are characterized and discussed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
