The differences analysis of polymer materials such as plastics, rubber, and synthetic fibers is one of the most important analysis to determine causes of degradation and compare with competitive products or prototypes. Furthermore, in recent years, their composition has more complex due to using high-performance polymers and recycled materials. that makes the characterization more difficult. In order to develop a better method that can be applied to those materials with complex compositions, several approaches with various instruments and software are currently being developed. We have studied and made presentations on it, and in this study, we considered a simpler method by using GC and GCxGC-TOFMS that can be used in actual practice as routine work.
