Structural analysis and the study of degradation properties are important in order to understand and improve performance characteristics of synthetic polymers and copolymers in many industrial applications. Pyrolysis gas chromatography mass spectrometry (Py-GCMS) can be used to characterize complex materials without any sample pretreatment. Due to the direct sample introduction and the chromatographic separation, it is possible not only to analyze very small amounts but also to obtain detailed, unique information, which is unobtainable by other analytical techniques. However, it is not easy to analyze the pyrograms because of complexity of them. In this presentation, we will introduce two methods for detailed characterization and elucidation of the degradation mechanism of polymer materials by using Pyrolysis GCxGC and High-Resolution GC-TOFMS.
