Description
Analytical Pyrolysis of Synthetic Organic Polymers is a follow-up to Analytical Pyrolysis of Natural Organic Polymers, which is volume
20 of the series. The main focus of the book is on practical applications of analytical pyrolysis in synthetic organic polymer identification
and characterization.
The first part of the book has five chapters including an introduction, a discussion on physico-chemistry
of thermal degradation of synthetic polymers and on instrumentation used in analytical pyrolysis, a chapter discussing what type of information
can be obtained from analytical pyrolysis, and a chapter dedicated to the analysis and characterization of synthetic polymers.
The
second part systematically covers the analytical pyrolysis of various classes of synthetic polymers. Some theoretical background for
the understanding of polymer structure using analytical pyrolysis is also discussed.
Included in series
Techniques and Instrumentation in Analytical Chemistry
Audience:
Researchers and chemists working in the field of synthetic polymers and analytical chemistry.
