Characterization Of Co- And Ter- Polymer Systems Using Mass Spectroscopy

Abstract

Characterisation of polymer systems measured with mass spectroscopy. Mass spectrometry generates a large amount of mass to charge ratios that require a lot of time to investigate. Using mass transformation methods, such as Mass-Remainder Analysis and Kendrick Mass Defect, the peak data can be simplified into groups. The peaks within these groups have similar chemical compositions with slight variations. Combination with intensity data from measurements, most abundant compositions can be identified.
