Investigation of the detection limit for the determination, by pyrolysis‐capillary GC, of the thickness of ultra thin PMMA layers coated on to PET film

Abstract: SummaryThe determination of nanometer thick layers of poly(methy1 methacrylate) coated on to the surface of poly(ethy1ene terephthalate) film has been investigated by high resolution pyrolysis gas chromatography without sample pretreatment or modification of the instrumentation used. A good linear relationship was observed between the quantity of the characteristic pyrolysate and the thickness of the poly(methy1 methacrylate) layer; the detection limit was sufficient to enable the quantitation of poly(methy1 m… Show more

“…The volatile products are analyzed by GC‐MS. HR PyGC‐MS has many advantages that make it suitable for the characterization of polymers and the investigation of their thermal degradation 8–11. Minimum sample preparation is required, and the technique can be applied even to complex copolymers and mixtures of formulated and treated products such as composite polymer materials, polymer blends, and chemically modified polymers.…”
