Analytical pyrolysis is one of the many tools utilized for the
study of natural organic polymers. This books 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. A variety of pyrolytic
techniques and of analytical instruments commonly coupled with
pyrolysis devices are given.
The description of the results of pyrolysis for 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. In
this part an attempt is made to present as much as possible the
chemistry of the pyrolytic process of natural organic polymers.
The applications of analytical pyrolysis include topics such as
polymer detection used for example in forensic science, structure
elucidation of specific polymers, and identification of small
molecules present in polymers (anti-oxidants, plasticizers, etc.).
Also, the degradation during heating is a subject of major interest
in many practical applications regarding the physical properties of
polymers. The applications to composite polymeric materials are in
the fields of classification of microorganisms, study of a variety
of biological samples, study of fossil materials, etc. Analytical
pyrolysis can also be used for obtaining information on the burning
areagenerate pyrolysates that have complex compositions. Their
analysis is important in connection with health issues,
environmental problems, and taste of food and cigarettes.
Features of this book:
- Presents analytical pyrolysis as a uniform subject and not as
a conglomerate of scientific papers.
- Puts together in an organized manner a large volume of
available information in this specific field.
- Provides original results which address subjects with
relatively scarce information in literature.
- Gives original views on subjects such as the parallel between
the pyrolytic process and the ion fragmentation in mass
spectrometry.
- Includes the role of pyrolysis in the burning process.
The three parts of the book are covered in 18 chapters, each
divided into sections. Some sections are further divided by
particular subjects. References are given for each chapter, and an
effort has been made to include as much as possible from the
available representative information. A few unpublished personal
results are also included.
