Application of alkali and acid fusion reactions to the gas chromatographic analysis of silicone-polyester resins

Quantitative analysis of apolar polysiloxane phases in large-bore capillary columns

“…They were generally coupled with GC, GC-MS, or RMN methods [1][2][3][4]. Variants use alkaline [5] or acid [6] degradation, polyalkylsiloxanes giving rise to the corresponding alkanes. Direct analysis by GC-AED (atomic emission detector) and GC-MS was recently proposed for linear polydimethylsiloxanes and cyclosiloxanes [7].…”
