Analytical Pyrolysis of Natural Organic Polymers

by S.C. Moldoveanu

Overview

Analytical Pyrolysis of Natural Organic Polymers, Second Edition, Volume 20 describes the methodology of analytical pyrolysis, the results of pyrolysis for a variety of biopolymers, and several practical applications of analytical pyrolysis on natural organic polymers and their composite materials. The book describes the results of pyrolysis for biopolymers and some chemically modified natural organic polymers. In addition, the many applications of analytical pyrolysis are covered in detail, including topics such as polymer detection used in forensic science, structure elucidation of specific polymers, and identification of small molecules present in polymers (anti-oxidants, plasticizers, etc.).

• Assembles all essential information on the pyrolysis of natural polymers in one volume, together with the techniques and instrumentation used
• Covers advances and developments over the last 20 years, including discussions on the many different types of apparatus commercially available
• Includes reference lists in every chapter to guide readers on a path to further study

What People are Saying About This

From the Publisher

A guide to the methodology of analytical pyrolysis, the results for a variety of biopolymers, and a discussion on their practical applications

Editorial Reviews

Describes in three parts the methodology of analytical pyrolysis, the results of pyrolysis for a variety of biopolymers, and several practical applications of analytical pyrolysis on natural organic polymers and their composite materials. Analytical pyrolysis methodology covers two distinct subjects<-->the instrumentation used for pyrolysis and the analytical methods that are applied for the analysis of the pyrolysis products. The description of the results of pyrolysis for individual biopolymers and some chemically modified natural organic polymers is the core of the book. The main pyrolysis products of numerous compounds as well as the proposed mechanisms for their pyrolysis are described. The applications of analytical pyrolysis include topics such as polymer detection used in forensic science, structure elucidation of specific polymers, and identification of small molecules present on polymers.
