Notes:
A direct pyrolysis mass spectrometric technique has been developed and applied to several chlorine-containing polymers. The capillary column in the gas chromatograph has been replaced by uncoated fused silica tubing to avoid the problem of column degradation induced by the polymer pyrolyzates. Under appropriate conditions, the pyrolysis mass spectra were found to be highly reproducible and to serve as “fingerprints.” The technique can be readily applied to carbon-black-filled, crosslinked elastomers, as well as polyblends and composites. The quantitative aspects of the technique have also been addressed.
