Characterization and quantification of poly(acrylonitrile-co-1,3-butadiene-co-styrene)/polyamide 6 (ASS/PA6) blends using pyrolysis-gas chromatography (Py-GC) with different detector systems

摘要

Solid blend samples of poly(acrylonitrile-co-1,3-butadiene-co-styrene) (ABS) and polyamide 6 (PA 6) were characterized by analytical pyrolysis-gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (Py-GC/MS) and analytical pyrolysis-gas chromatography with flame ionization detector (Py-GC/FID) at 700 degrees C, respectively. The separated compounds were identified using the mass spectral library as well as by calculation of the relative retentions. These blends have been chosen, since they play a dominant role in the automotive and other industries.
