摘要
A research effort was undertaken to utilize the pyrolysis process to create fragments of polyethylene that could be indicative of branching, and allow quantitiation of said short-chain branches by pyrolysis comprehensive 2-D GC (Py-GC x CC). Several strategies for sample introduction and pyrolysis such as the in-column pyrolysis device and the programmed temperature vaporizer (PTV) were studied. The chromatographic separations were executed using low-thermal mass (LTM) comprehensive 2-D CC (GC x GC). A series of polyethylene-co-hexene samples were analyzed and a linear correlation of 1-hexene content with branching peak ratio was found. Correlation coefficients were determined as 0.97 for the measurements performed.
