Abstract:The combination of pyrolysis (Py) with gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) is already well established for polymer analysis. A first approach is reported using this method for detailed quality monitoring of a complex technical polymer system. Six similar solvent-based paints (one standard and five modifications) have been used for evaluation. The major pyrolysis products were identified and qualitative and quantitative modifications were detected and specified. Principal component analysis (PCA) was a… Show more
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.
