It is important to obtain information on structural isomers, and retention index (RI) plot were introduced to visualize them. We have applied RI-plot to hydrocarbon polymer materials and succeeded in visualizing the difference in the distribution of normal- and isomers. In this study, we focused on a characteristic fragment ion and depicted the RI plot using extracted ion chromatogram (EIC) in order to detect trace components with high sensitivity.
