This paper reviews techniques for the characterization and analysis of rubbers and synthetic polymers, copolymers, and blends. Chromatographic techniques such as gas chromatography, inverse gas chromatography, pyrolysis gas chromatography, and liquid chromatography including size exclusion chromatography are included in this review. Also included are references to mass spectrometry, spectroscopictechniques including infrared, Raman, and nuclear magnetic resonance, and thermal techniques such as thermogravimetric analysis and differential scanning calorimetry. Applications include structure determination, separation and quantitation of residual monomers and additives, determination of molecular weight, and study of degradation mechanisms and other thermal properties of synthetic polymers and rubbers. A majority of the cited references were obtained from literature searches and volumes of Chemical Abstracts or CA Selects published between October 1992 and October 1994. For the most part, this review contains references to journals published in English and readily available in the United States. GAS CHROMATOGRAPHY A capillary gas chromatographic method was validated for topanol A and topanol 0 antioxidants at concentrations of a p proximately 250 ppm in 11-bromoundecyl methacrylate and 50 ppm in methyl methacrylate. The analysis was performed using a temperature-programmed 10 m x 0.53 mm i.d. HP-1 capillary column with a camer gas flow rate of 16.5 mL/min (AI). Ethyl acetate extraction followed by gas chromatography with electron capture detection was used for routine simultaneous determination of epichlorohydrin,3-chloro-1,2-propanediol, and 1,3dichloro-2-propanol in aqueous solutions of a poly(amido amine) epichlorohydrin resin. These impurities were detected at detection limits in the micrograms per gram range 642). A review presented examples of the application of gas chromatography and gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/ MS) by the paint and coatings industry. The review described techniques and references for monitoring of raw material quality, resolving manufacturing problems, and identifying the polymers and other components of coatings (A3). Mineral water samples, stored in polyethylene-lined aluminum/ cardboard packages, were incubated at 40 "C, and then volatiles in the mineral water were analyzed by sni€iing the effluent from a gas chromatographic column. The effluent was sensorially 0003-2700/95/0367-0097$15 5010 0 1995 American Chemical Society

evaluated for the intensity of descriptors such as synthetic, sickly, musty, metallic, or dry. Components detected by sniffing were subsequently identified by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry as aromatic hydrocarbons and carbonyls (A4). Styrene and styrene dimers (at concentrations of 13 and 43 mg/kg, respectively) were the major components among the 20 compounds identified by G U M S in polystyrene used for milk packaging. The detection limit for styrene monomer by this equilibrated headspace method was 0.29 mg/kg. In a related procedure to determine styrene and the dimer in milk, acetone was used to precipitate proteins and extract fat and the residues from the packaging material. Using direct injection of these extracts for GC analysis, detection limits were 0.16 mg/kg for styrene and 0.28 mg/kg for the dimer (A5). Sensory evaluation panels and gas chromatography were used to characterize odors from commercial polyethylene. Tenax-GC collection tubes were used to trap the odor-active volatiles at ambient temperature (A@. Because of their relatively low viscosity and good curing properties, Mannich base products are frequently selected as curing agents for epoxy resins. A direct gas chromatographic method with flame ionization detection was described for the determination of residual levels of phenol, formaldehyde, and benzyl alcohol in Mannich formulations used as curing agents. For toxicological reasons, this sensitive method, linear over a broad range of concentrations, was needed to monitor concentrations of phenol, which is subject to legal restrictions (A7). Hightemperature capillary gas chromatography was also used to separate novolac phenolic and epoxy novolac oligoiners (AS). Methyl methacrylate monomer evolved during aging of poly(methyl methacrylate) at different temperatures was determined by gas chromatography and polarography. An exponential relationship existed between the yield of monomer and the aging temperature (AS). A modified headspace gas chromatographic method was described for the determination of free methyl methacrylate monomer in contact lenses regardless of their method of production. This method allowed supervision of the quality of a lens of unknown origin within 15 min, and the test was used to evaluate production tests of new polymerization initiators ( A l O ) . Epoxidued soybean oil, a common additive in polymers such as poly(viny1chloride) (PVC), was converted into fatty acid esters with tetramethylammonium hydroxide, and these derivatives were analyzed by capillary gas chromatography using flame ionization detection. For PVC, the epoxidued soybean oil was extracted with toluene, derivatized, and analyzed. A short capillary column was used to separate the methyl esters of mono-, di-, and triepoxyoctadecanoic acid (All). Multidimensional techniques of heartatting, cryotrapping,and back-flushing were used to develop a capillary-based alternative to the packed-column techniques to determine residual vinyl chloride monomer in PVC. This capillary-based method resolved Analytical Chemistry, Vol. 67, No. 12, June 15, 1995 97R

some of the problems associated with the accuracy and reproducibility required for the ultratrace determination of this suspected carcinogen (412). Element-specific chromatograms using an atomic emission detector (AED) provided information on the types of additives in a variety of polymer extracts. The high resolution of capillary gas chromatography and the selectivity and sensitivity of the AED complemented mass spectrometry and infrared for the characterization of additive mixtures in supercritical fluid extracts from a rubber sample (413). Headspace sampling and gas chromatography were used to quantitatively follow the thermal oxidation of a low molecular weight hydroxy-terminated polybutadiene. Rate studies using this simple, efficient technique revealed an induction period for the oxidation followed by self-catalyzed oxidation. The rate for this latter step was quickly controlled by the diffusion of oxygen into the polymer (414). Gas chromatography was used to study the kinetics of evolution of volatiles from polypropylene at 70 "C. Correlation chromatography and trapping volatiles on Tenax sorbents or activated charcoal were used to improve the detector signal. A series of direct injections of the polymer headspace followed by gas chromatography was used as a reference study of the kinetics of gas evolution. Data from the trapping studies differed from results from the direct injections and the correlation chromatographic studies, which were in good agreement (415). A polymer, not readily identified by other techniques because of interference from additives, was identified using a direct dynamic headspace device designed for use with GC/MS. This device was designed to identify compounds with boiling points too low for analysis by conventional GC analysis (416). Inverse gas chromatography (IGC) continued to be a useful technique to determine physicochemical properties of pure polymers, polymer solutions, and polymer blends. Thermal transitions, polymer solubility parameters, polymer/solvent and polymer/polymer interaction parameters were measured using the polyfiydroxy ether of Bisphenol A), solutions of this polymer, and blends with other polymers (417). Two equations were derived to analyze data from capillary IGC experiments to determine solubility and d ~ s i v i t yfor polymer/solvent systems 6418).

Inverse GC was used to construct adsorption isotherms for n-hexane, n-heptane, n-octane, and n-nonane on polystyrene at 30 "C. Isotherms were also developed for n-heptane at 40, 50, and 60 "C. Partition coefficients calculated for these alkanes increased for increasing chain length of the probe compound and decreased with increasing temperature (419). Inverse GC was also used with some of the same solvents to determine weight fraction activity coefficients and Flory-Huggins parameters for polystyrene

WO). Other authors used IGC to develop phase diagrams for systems containing polystyrene with high carbon number alkanes (up to n-pentatricontane) at 190-250 "C. The Gibbs free energy of mixing (AC,J was calculated for the polystyrene-alkane systems by assuming the Flory-Huggins parameter was independent of composition W1).The same co-workers reported using IGC to determine diffusion coefficients of caprolactam in nylon 6 using a capillary column at 250-280 "C. Activity coefficients at infinite dilution were also determined and compared with values obtained using packed columns (A22). One of these same authors reported 98R

measurement of activity and diffusion coefficients of several solvents in polystyrene using a capillary column at temperatures between 110 and 170 "C (A23). The retention diagram of poly@-chlorostyrene) for tert-butyl acetate, obtained using IGC, showed a low critical solution temperature, indicating that the polymer solubility in this solvent decreased with temperature. The experiments also allowed calculation of the weight fraction activity coefficient, the FloryHuggins interaction parameter at infinite dilution, and the effective exchange interaction parameter for this polymer/solvent system (A24). Some of the same co-workers determined several thermodynamic interactions for poly(pch1orostyrene) with n-pentane, n-hexane, n-heptane, benzene, toluene, n-propylbenzene, and isopropylbenzene at 150-170 "C. Molar enthalpy of sorption, the partial molar heat of mixing at infinite dilution, and the solubility parameter were also determined for this polymer 0. Thermodynamic interaction parameters of polystyrene and polybutadiene were determined with 15 probes of different polarities at temperatures from 155 to 185 "C. Polymer/polymer interaction parameters were also measured by using five different polystyrene-polybutadiene blend compositions. These IGC experiments indicated a definite probe dependence (A26). Inverse GC was used to investigate surface and interaction properties for styrene-4vinylpyridine diblock copolymers. When this copolymer was adsorbed on an acidic Chromosorb support, the more basic vinylpyridine block was preferentially oriented to the substrate. The air interphase was enriched in polystyrene (A27). Specific retention volumes of several probe compounds in poly(4hydroxystyrene), poly(viny1 acetate), and four blends of these homopolymers were used to determine the thermodynamic interaction between the polymers. An apparent probe dependence seemed to be related to the strength of the probe interaction with the individual homopolymers 0228). A methacrylic acid-styrene diblock copolymer adsorbed on particulates with varying acid/base interaction potentials was studied by IGC. The acid/base interactions between the substrate and the polymer resulted in selective adsorption of the copolymer moieties (A29). Acid/base interactions were also estimated by exposing the surface of polystyrene to acidic and alkaline vapors and calculating the interaction parameter (A30). Dispersive and acid/base properties of the surfaces of two cross-linked poly(dimethacry1ates) were also examined using inverse gas chromatography. Parameters defining the ability of the surfaces to accept or donate electrons were sufficiently sensitive to describe surface changes that occurred during thermal treatment and variations in the structure of the ester groups (431). One of these co-workers also used IGC to determine binary parameters to aid in the characterization of surfactants based on oxyethylene derivatives of 1-hexadecanol (A32). Transition temperatures and interaction parameters from inverse GC experiments with poly(ethy1ene oxide), poly(ethy1 methacrylate), or poly(ethy1 methacrylate-co-methacrylic acid) indicated compatibility of poly(ethy1 methacrylate) with poly(ethylene oxide). The copolymer, however, was incompatible with poly(ethy1ene oxide) because of interactions between the acid groups in the copolymer and the ether moieties of poly(ethy1ene oxide) (433). Inverse gas chromatographic columns were prepared with a blend of poly(ethy1ene oxide), poly(methy1 methacrylate), and a pulverized porous silica gel. Changes in the retention diagrams

gave information on the interaction between the polymer blend and the silica gel, which incorporated both polymers into its pores 6434) * Characteristic retention data and peak shape changes were observed with inverse GC of olefinic stationary phases impregnated with silica gel or carbon black. Air was used as the carrier gas. The experimental system was designed as a model for the degradation of reinforced vulcanizates (A35). Inverse gas chromatographic experiments with a styrenebutadiene rubber stationary phase were conducted at temperatures above and below the glass transition temperature (Tg) with flow rates up to 60 mL/min. Retention volumes decreased with rising gas flow at temperatures above Tgr and equilibrium values were obtained at high flow rates. Because these equilibrium values were related to surface interactions, this IGC technique was useful for studying the surface character of polymers above Tg(A36'). The same co-workers also used IGC to study dispersive surface energies and acid/base interactions for a styrene/maleic anhydride copolymer over a broad range of temperatures (A37). The interactions between filler particles and polymer surfaces in paints and other particulatefilled composite formulationswere measured by determining the retention behavior of organic solvent molecules through columns packed with polymer or filler particles. This review of the IGC technique, with 51 references, included intermolecular interaction and gas chromatographic theory. Equations were also presented for calculation of free energy, surface energy for polymer and filler particles, and entropy of adsorption of the polymers on the filler particles (A38, A39). Other workers reported using inverse GC to characterize the acid/base interactions of the components of paint formulations including polymers, pigments, additives, and solvents. The technique gave good results for the determination of Tg, the weight fraction activity coefficient at infinite dilution, and the heat of interaction for selected solvents (A40). Another study reviewed the use of IGC to characterize fillers such as CaC03 and talc that are used in paints and coatings. These data demonstrated that steric hindrances affected the adsorption of probe molecules on lamellar solids like talc (A41). Other workers used IGC to measure speciiic retention volumes and derive interaction parameters for nine different polymers and 43 solvents at six different temperatures in the range of 60-110 "C (A42). The thermodynamic miscibility behavior of polycarbonates based on 4,4'-isopropylidenebisphenol and 4,4'-cyclohexylidenebisphenol units was examined by inverse gas chromatography.The speciiic retention volumes were measured using a variety of solvents at temperatures above the glass transition temperatures of these polymers (A43). Several workers reexamined the problem of solvent iduence on the determination of polymer/polymer interaction parameters by inverse gas chromatography (A44). Some of the same coworkers used IGC to measure polymer/polymer interaction parameters for poly(viny1 chloride)-poly(ethylene oxide) blends (A45).

Other workers used the technique to study poly(viny1 methyl ether) -poly(vinyl ester) blends (A46). The hydrogenated monomers of the poly(viny1 esters) were used as the analog probes and the poly(viny1methyl ether) was used as the stationaryphase. This study indicated that poly(viny1 methyl ether) was miscible with poly(viny1butyrate) and poly(viny1propionate) but it was not miscible with poly(viny1 acetate).

An acrylonitrile-methyl acrylate-sodium 2-acrylamido-2-methylpropane-1-sulfonate copolymer was coated on a Chromosorb W substrate. A column packed with this material was conditioned at four temperatures under a flow of nitrogen. Plots of retention volume versus the inverted temperature were prepared for probe solvents including NJ-dimethylformamide, pyridine, 1-propanol, and pxylene (A47). Swelling measurements, stress/strain mechanical analysis, and inverse gas chromatography were used to determine the crosslink density of three poly(dimethylsi1oxane) samples. Results were in good agreement, and the IGC experiments also allowed calculation of interaction parameters for the linear and cross-linked polymers (448). Poly(viny1 chloride) was also studied by IGC. The technique was used to determine the weight fraction activity coefficient at infinite dilution and the interaction parameter for various PVC probe systems (449) while other workers measured glass transition temperatures and the molar heat of adsorption of selected probe molecules. The glass transition temperature was almost independent of the type of probe molecule (A50). Polymer/solvent interaction data were also generated for polyisobutylene with four chemical families of solvents with increasing backbone length 0154, and IGC was used to study the compatibility of polyurethane foam with liquids at various temperatures. In the latter case, the results were used to predict the noninteractive barrier properties of a polyurethane foam against liquids with different polarity 0152). The polymer/ polymer interaction parameters calculated from IGC data and results from differential scanning calorimetry showed that acrylic acid-styrene copolymers and poly(isobuty1 methacrylate) were immiscible (A53). The curing of unmodified and diol-modifiedepoxy resins based on the diglycidyl ether of Bisphenol A was also studied by IGC. The activation energy of the cross-linking reaction and diffusion coefficients for solvent injected into curing and cured epoxy resins were obtained by varying gas chromatographic conditions (A54). The technique was also used to calculate polymer/polymer interaction parameters and the interaction energy densities for blends of poly(6caprolactone) with poly(hydr0xy ether of Bispheno1 A). Parameters were evaluated at temperatures between 130 and 160 'C for three different blend compositions (A55). Some of the same workers used IGC to investigate a blend of poly(hydroxy ether of Bisphenol A) and poly(viny1 methyl ether). Interaction parameters were calculated and specific retention volumes were measured for probes in both pure and mixed stationary phases (A56). Use of IGC below Tgto determine adsorption properties at the surface of glassy polymers such as polystyrene and poly(methyl methacrylate) often results in broad peaks. Comparing diffusion coefficients with IGC data, however, indicated that equilibrium diffusion through these polymers was not responsible for the broadened peaks. Flow rate changes also had no effect on retention times (A57). Inverse GC was also used to determine solubility parameters and components correspondingto polar, dispersive, and hydrogenbonding interactions of 19 diamino oligoethers. This study included examination of the relationship between solubility and polarity parameters and the influence of structure on solubility parameters (A58).

Transition temperatures of a mainchain biphenyl-based organic polyester liquid crystal were determined using IGC. These transition temperatures agreed with values determined by other techniques, and data were available on a range of temperature related properties of these liquid crystals (359). Finally, the inverse GC technique was used to characterize the interaction of a polyether-polyurethane with 17 solvents of different polarities. The specific retention volumes measured for each probe at 100-150 "C were used to calculate properties at infinite dilution and other thermodynamic parameters @SO). PYROLYSIS TECHNIQUES Pyrolysis gas chromatography (Py-GC) and gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (Py-GUMS) continued to be used to characterize the structure of copolymers, polymer blends, geopolymers, biological materials, and archaeological or historical objects. Only applications to polymers, blends, and rubbers are included in this review. Peak areas for styrene trimer and relative peak ratios for the trimer/dimer peaks in pyrograms of polystyrene were used to evaluate an improved Curie point pyrolyzer (BI). The same workers also developed a multichannel autosampler for Curie point pyrolysis with capillary gas chromatography. This unit was evaluated using an ABS copolymer and thermally labile samples that could be analyzed without thermal degradation or reaction during the waiting period before pyrolysis (B2). Subsequent modification of this multichannel pyrolyzer included a shorter transfer line between the pyrolyzer and the gas chromatograph. This modifcation eliminated dead volume and permitted transfer line operation at 300 "C, resulting in improved yields of highboiling, highly polar, and thermally labile pyrolysis products (B3). In another instrument development, a simple laser pyrolyzer with a lower volume pyrolysis chamber was used to study high molecular weight polymers by Py-GC and Py-GUMS (B4).An infrared instrument was also developed to analyze volatile products from solid samples including polymers and soil samples. The samples were heated with an infrared radiation source in an optically focused system that allowed collection of the pyrolysis products in sorbent-filled tubes. These collected pyrolyzates were subsequently desorbed and examined by G U M S (B5). Reference materials or standards were introduced into a capillary gas chromatographic system during pyrolysis of polymer samples. The reference material or standard was adsorbed on a Tenax porous polymer support that was placed into a second 358 "C Curie point wire. This material was subsequently thermally desorbed during Curie point pyrolysis of the polymer sample (B9. Products from the thermal degradation of poly(styrene disulfide) (PSD) and poly(styrene tetrasulfide) (PST) were identified using pyrolysis mass spectrometry and flash pyrolysis-GC/MS. Pyrolysis products containing sulfur, styrene, cyclic styrene sulfides, and diphenyldithianes were observed from the PSD. Flash pyrolysis-GUMS, however, yielded only styrene, sulfur, one cyclic styrene sulfide, and diphenylthiophen isomers. These latter compounds were absent from the PST pyrograms (B7). Poly(phenylene sulfide) degradation was also studied by flash pyrolysis-GC/MS. Cyclic tetramer and linear dimers and trimers from random scission of the polymer followed by cyclization were the major products from pyrolysis at 550 "C (B8). Pyrolysis-GC was used to determine the end groups in polystyrene prepared by anionic polymerization using a n-butyllOOR

lithium initiator. Because the peaks associated with end groups decreased with increasing polymer molecular weight, the numberaverage molecular weight was estimated by comparing the intensities of these end group peaks relative to the total intensity for all peaks from pyrolysis of samples with different molecular weights (B9). In a related study, methacrylol end groups of polystyrene were determined by stepwise Py-GC utilizing a twostage pyrolyzer in combination with on-line methylation (BIO). Analytical-scale pyrolysis was used to model the hot-wire cutting of expanded polystyrene. The gas chromatograms were not affected by the presence of flame retardants, and pyrolysis products were similar in air or an inert gas. The heating temperature was the major factor affecting the yield and distribution of pyrolysis products ( B I I ) . Gas chromatography/mass spectrometry was also used to identify the volatile pyrolyzates from the large-scale pyrolysis of styrene-acrylonitrile and ABS copolymers (BIZ). Neutral sizing agents such as alkylketene dimers and alkenylsuccinic anhydride were determined in paper by pyrolysis gas chromatography. Peaks were observed for the intact alkylketene dimers and related ketones in papers containing 0.025-1.0% of this sizing agent (B13). The technique was also used to determine styrene copolymer sizing agents in paper. Amounts of sizing agents were determined with a precision of about 1.4%relative standard deviation based on the styrene monomer yield. These data suggested that about 80% of the suing agents added in a pulp slurry were retained by the paper (BI4). Poly(methy1 methacrylate) end groups were determined by Py-GC using a chromatograph equipped for simultaneous detection with flame ionization, sulfur-selective flame photometric, and/ or nitrogen/phosphorus detectors. The technique was particularly useful to detect end groups associated with the AIBN initiator or chain-transfer reagents such as thioglycolic acid and mercaptopropionic acid (B15). Nanometer thick layers of poly(methy1 methacrylate) on the surface of poly(ethy1ene terephthalate) film were determined by pyrolysis-GC. A linear relationship was obtained between the yields of characteristic pyrolysis products and the thickness of the poly(methy1 methacrylate) layer without any pretreatment of the samples (B16). Polyimides, cross-linked resins formed from an aromatic diamine, an aromatic tetracarboxylic acid diester, and a monoester of 5-norbornene-2,3-dicarboxylicacid, were investigated by PyGC. Effects of the extent of cure, formulated molecular weight, and cumulative aging were studied in relation to the pyrolysis yield of cyclopentadiene (B17).The thermal decomposition of arylalicyclic polyimides was studied by Py-GC/MS and thermogravimetry. The pyrolysis yield of aliphatic and aromatic products was affected by the structure of the aliphatic segments in these polymers. The primary decomposition of the alicyclic moieties was an important step in the degradation mechanism (BI8). Block, random, and block-random ethylene-vinylcyclohexane copolymers prepared in different ways were examined by Py-GC/ MS. Random copolymers were prepared using a Ziegler-Natta catalyst at constant ethylene pressure, and block vinylcyclohexane units were observed in copolymers prepared with nonstationary conditions. Yields of appropriate pyrolysis products were related to the block units in these copolymers (B19). The technique was also applied to study the composition and sequence distribution of monomer units in butadiene-isoprene copolymers containing 5-33 mol%butadiene. Concentrations of diads and triads in the

copolymers were measured from the pyrolysis yields of homo and hybrid dimers and trimers (B20). Linear and cyclic perfluoroalkanes were pyrolyzed at 900 "C. Perfluoropentane and perfluorohexane yielded the highest amounts of perfluoroisobutylene (B21). Pyrolysis-GC was also used to characterize polymeric additives in oils. The technique was used to evaluate multicomponent alkyl methacrylate copolymers that comprise a common group of viscosity improvement polymers (B22). Poly (di-n-alkylsilylene) copolymers of the type (R2Si) ,,(R'ZSi), were prepared where R and R' included methyl, ethyl, propyl, butyl, pentyl, and hexyl groups, but R and R' were not the same alkyl moieties. Thermal transitions, measured by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectra were obtained for the copolymers and homopolymers, and copolymer compositions (nlm ratio) were determined by Py-GC/MS and solution NMR (B23). In a related publication, one of these workers documented pyrolysis conditions for degradation of poly(dialkylsily1enes). Degradation, beginning at 200 "C, proceeded through the formation of cyclic oligomers. At 300 "C, copolymers containing dimethylsilylene units produced tetra- and pentacyclic compounds, while copolymers containing ethyl and higher alkyl units produced only tetracyclic compounds (B24). Curie point high-resolution gas chromatography with different spectroscopic detection systems (mass spectrometry, infrared, atomic emission) was used to characterize cured epoxy resins. The AED was particularly useful in detecting element-spec& pyrolysis products related to minor components such as coupling agents (B25). Other workers observed phenols and the glycidyl ethers of Bisphenol A in the pyrograms of epoxy resins cured with prepolymers of different molecular weights. Peak intensities increased with increasing molecular weight of the prepolymer (B26). Pyrolysis-GC/MS was also used to identdy components of carbon-fiber composite containing epoxy resins such as N,N,N'tetraglycidyl-4,4'-diaminodiphenylmethane,the diglycidyl ether of Bisphenol A, and the accelerator 3-(3,4dichlorophenyl)-l,1-dimethylurea. Components identified in another composite cured at 175 "C included N,N,N'-tetraglycidyl-4,4'-diaminodiphenylmethane, a polysulfone, and another component that yielded aminophenols (B27). Furfuraldehyde resins and poly(pheny1-as-triazenes) were among the miscellaneous polymers examined using pyrolysis techniques. A total of 38 products were identified from the pyrolysis of furfural homopolymer and an acetone-furfural copolymer using Py-GC/MS and infrared (IR) spectroscopy (B28). More than 12 products from the pyrolysis of poly(pheny1-astriazines) at temperatures between 650 and 900 "C were identified by mass spectrometry. Results of these Py-GC/MS experiments were combined with thermogravimetric data to provide information on the mechanisms for degradation of this polymer (B29). Curie point pyrolysisGC/MS was used to differentiate between hydrocarbon polymers such as low-density polyethylene and ethylene propylene-norbornene modified copolymers. This technique and temperature-programmed mass spectrometry were used to identify these polymers and others in complex mixtures (2330). Curie point pyrolysis was also one of several techniques used to determine the composition of an uncured polyester resin

containing an acrylate copolymer, a cross-linking accelerator, surfactants, and other additives (B31). Plasma-prepared polypyrrole was characterized by pyrolysisGC/MS and infrared spectrometry. Major thermal decomposition products were nitriles with fewer than four carbon atoms and monosubstituted alkylpyrroles such as 2-methylpyrrole or Bethylpyrrole. Evolution of the linear nitriles suggested that the polymer contained nitrogen atoms in the main chain (B32). Copolymers of 1-vinyl-2-pyrrolidoneand 1-vinyl-3methylimidaze lium chloride, used in cosmetic products, were analyzed by pyrolysis-GC/MS (B33). Cationic and anionic ionexchange resins were also characterized using a foil pulse pyrolyzer. Cationic resins released mainly SO2 and benzene at a pyrolysis temperature of 500 "C, whereas ethylbenzene, styrene, HZS, and toluene were additional products detected at higher pyrolysis temperatures. The anionic resins generated trimethylamine and methyl chloride at 400 "C and styrene, p-methylstyrene, and p-ethylstyrene at higher pyrolysis temperatures up to 900 "C (B34). LIQUID CHROMATOGRAPHY Several reviews and tutorial-type articles were written on the characterization of polymers by size exclusion chromatography (SEC) and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Included among these were reviews of liquid chromatography (LC) (applied to polymer characterization) (CI),SEC (CZ), alternatives to SEC (C3), problems associated with aqueous SEC (C4), and basic principles of analytical SEC (C5). New directions in SEC were also discussed in a summary format (C6). A tutorial on SEC characterization of pectins and water-soluble cellulosic materials was written (C7). HPLC for characterization of copolymers was reviewed (C8, C9). The proceedings of the 1991 ACS Symposium on Chromatography of Polymers were published in an ACS Symposium Series book (CIO),comprising four sections: Field-Flow Fractionation; Size-Exclusion Chromatography: Fundamental Considerations; Size-Exclusion Chromatography: Viscometry Detection; and Size-Exclusion Chromatography: High-Temperature, Ionic, and Natural Polymer Applications. Volume I1 of the Handbook of Chromatography relating to Polymers was issued (C11). The solution properties of several polyelectrolytes including sodium poly(styrene sulfonate) (NaPSS), poly(acrylic acid) (PAA), and poly(r;glutamic acid) were studied under a variety of aqueous SEC conditions (C12-C15). SEC-viscometrywas used to assess the applicability of the universal calibration principle for characterization of PAA by aqueous SEC (C16). Cationic and anionic polyelectrolytes including protonated poly(2-vinylpyridine),poly(2-vinylpyridinium benzyl bromide), and NaPSS were characterized by aqueous SEC on a single type of packing material with differing mobile phases for the anionic and cationic samples (C17). Aqueous SEC coupled to low-angle laser light scattering (LALLS) and viscometry was applied to the anionic and cationic polyelectrolytes NaPSS and copolymers of acrylamide and N,N,N-trimethylaminoethyl chloride acrylate (C18). Aqueous SEC-LALLS was used to determine molecular weight distributions of epichlorohydrin dimethylamine copolymers (C19, C20). Molecular weight distributions of poly(4vinylpyridine) were determined by SEC-LALLSin a mobile phase comprising 50% methanol and 50% aqueous 0.1 M LiN03 (C21). Aqueous SEC and dynamic light scattering experiments were used to study the ion exclusion Analyfical Chemistry, Vol. 67, No. 12, June 15, 1995

behavior of dextrans in water (C.2). Several polysaccharides were investigated by aqueous SEC-LALLS (C23). Several papers regarding aqueous SEC analyses of poly(ethy1ene glycols) (PEG) were published including studies of pure oligo (ethylene glycols) as standards for SEC (C24, identilication of PEG molecular weights in pharmaceutical preparations (C25), investigations of the binding of sodium dodecyl sulfate to PEG (C26), the use of PEG as a probe of poly(acrylonitri1e) membrane pore sizes (C27), and correlations of hydrodynamic characteristics of PEG and poly(vinylpyrrolidone) with SEC retention volume (C28). Pyrenelabeled polyacrylamides were studied by aqueous SEC (C29). SEC-viscometry was used to determine the Mark-Houwink coefficients for fully hydrolyzed poly(viny1 alcohol) in aqueous NaN03 at 35 "C (C30). Several techniques including aqueous SEC were used to characterize the molecular structure and degradation behavior of poly(amido amines) (C31). SEC-LAUS viscometry and SEC coupled to differential refractive index @RI) and conductivity detectors were used to characterize aqueous solutions of carboxymethylcelluloses (C32). SEC was used to study fastcuring phenol-formaldehyde resins (C33) and aging of phenol-formaldehyde resins (C34). Oligo(thiophene-ethylene) derivatives were synthesized using an iterative approach and characterized by SEC (C35), and electrochemically synthesized poly(3alkylthiophene)s were characterized by SEC (C36).

A FT-Raman detector for SEC was developed and applied to the microstructural characterization of polybutadiene, but the overall sensitivity of the detector was too poor to provide quantitative information on polybutadienes eluting from an SEC column (C77). The effects of operating conditions, including flow rate and column packing particle size, for determining the molecular weight distributions of high molecular weight polyethylenes (C78) and the solution-phase degradation of poly(phenylacety1ene) in THF solutions were studied by SEC-LALLS (C79).

A low-pressure SEC system was coupled to a modified Ubbelohde capillary viscometer and applied to determining molecular weights and long-chain branching in polychloroprene (C100). The use of SEC-viscometryfor determining the numberaverage molecular weight of polymers (NBS 706 PS) was critically evaluated (C101). Quantitative high-temperature SEC employing DRI and viscosity detectors for characterization of polyolefins was discussed (‘2102). Calibration, determination of Mark-Houwink coefficients (C103), resolution correction, and determination of the interdetector volume (C104) in SEC-viscometry were discussed for studies of PS and polyethylene. An alternative approach for establishing universal calibration curves was applied to SEC-viscometry characterization of broad molecular weight distribution polyethylene and PS samples (C105). SEC-viscomebywas also used for determining number-average molecular weights and for estimating polydispersities for several

types of polymers including PS, PMMA, poly(dimethylsiloxane), and blends of PMMA and poly(dimethylsi1oxane) (C106).

This portion of the review will cover topics pertaining to the application of mass spectrometric techniques to the characterization of polymers and rubbers. Various reviews were written in this area, with most of them relating to the application of mass spectrometry to the surface analysis of polymers. The surface analysis reviews were broad overviews of the use of various complementary surface analysis techniques and so they were not limited to the discussion of mass spectrometry. The capabilities of static secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS) for the surface analysis of polymers was reviewed (01). The application of SIMS to the study of interfacial adhesion for high-performance polymeric adhesives and composites was reviewed (DZ), and the most important developments over the past 30 years in static SIMS for surface analysis were reviewed (03). Instrumentation, ion-formation processes, quantitative analysis, and use of derivatizing reagents for time-of-fight (TOF)-SIMS were reviewed (04). A review of the study of polymer surfaces at Sheffield University over a six-year period covered the application of TOF-SIMS and SIMS to a variety of surface problems (05). Reviews also appeared on the use of high-resolution tandem FTMS for polymers at greater than 10 kDa (06) and the accurate measurement of polymer molecular weight distributions using matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization (WILDI) MS (07).A review of the use of FTMS or TOF-MS as a detector for laserdesorbed neutral species reported on the formation of ions by resonant or nonresonant laser ionization. Ionization selectivity was achieved by using different wavelengths for the postionization step (08). Static SIMS and TOF-SIMS were used extensively in surface analysis applications and in combination with laser ionization techniques for general polymer analysis applications. Polystyrene functionalized with perfluoroalkylchlorosilane,a butadiene polymer, and polystyrene coated with a silver overlayer were analyzed using static TOF-SIMS (09). The surface compositions of random copolymers of poly(styrene-&-styrene) were studied using static SIMS. The extent of deuterium incorporation in the various fragment ions was beneficial for understanding the mechanism of fragmentation during the SIMS process (010). In a similar study, a mixture of perdeuteriopolystyrene and perhydropolystyrene, analyzed by TOF-SIMS, indicated that no observable H/D exchange occurred between small polystyrene fragments (8003000 Da) or oligomers. This suggested that hydrogen-transfer processes related to polymer fragmentation in SIMS occurred via an intramolecular mechanism (011). 104R

Analytical Chemistry, Vol. 67, No. 12, June 15, 1995

An on-line combination of TOF-SIMS and monochromatized photoelectron spectroscopy was used to investigate microwave (2.45 GHz) nitrogen plasma-moditied polystyrene surfaces (012). A high-resolution TOF-SIMS instrument was used to systematically investigate the reproducibility and accuracy of mass measurement from 0 to 600 Da for a thick film of poly(ethy1ene terephthalate) sample. An accuracy of better than 20 ppm was achieved over this mass range using routine operating conditions. The effects of a polymer additive, such as glyceryl monostearate, was also studied (013). TOF-SIMS was used to investigate a series of poly(alky1 acrylates) (PAA) and poly(alky1 methacrylates) (PAM). The reproducible spectra were composed of clusters of silver cationized neutral fragments of the main polymer chain. The effect of different alkyl groups on the fragmentation patterns of PAAs was discussed, and PAA and PAM spectra were compared (014,015). Perfluorinated polyethers and their van der Waals dimers were analyzed using resonance-enhanced two-photon ionization TOF spectroscopy. The polymers were laser vaporized and entrained in a pulse jet expansion. Two-photon ionization of the cold polymer via the phenoxy chromophore was combined with TOFMS for polymer molecular weight distributions up to 7000 Da. Under certain conditions, parent masses were observed for van der Waal dimers (016). TOF-SIMS was used to characterize PEG and PPG samples over the 400-100000 Da molecular mass range (017) and polybutadienes with molecular masses between 400 and 170 000 Da (018). The number-average and weight-average molecular weights determined were comparable to those obtained using conventional methods. Fragmentation mechanisms were discussed, and fragmentation cluster intensities were studied as a function of sample molecular weight and cluster size. Laser-desorption TOF and field-desorption MS (FDMS) were used to analyze plasma-polymerized C ~films O prepared under Ar plasma (019). Static TOF-SIMS was used to determine tracelevel polymer additives in linear low-density polyethylene. Information on additive surface migration and surface oxidation was also obtained in this study (020). Matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization TOF-SIMS was used to characterize nonpolar polymers containing ferrocene, ferrocenylnaphthalene, and ruthenocenylnaphthalene groups in their repeating units. Radical molecular ion formation was shown for polymer samples in the range of 1-13 kDa. A method of verifymg the formation of radical molecular ions was described (021),and laser ionization mass spectrometry was used to study the fragmentation of FeC13-doped poly@henylacetylene) (022). Absolute mass values in MALDI TOF-MS were determined using a new self-calibration procedure whereby a best-fit minimization was performed. Application of the procedure was demonstrated using poly(capro1actone) and poly(Bispheno1A carbonate)with interpretation of single peaks up to 20 kDa (023). The application of MALDI to PVC, PVA, polycarbonates, and other polymers was made possible by the use of simple solvents such as acetone, THF, and methanol during sample preparation (024). MALDI was used to characterize commercial light stabilizers of less than 5000 average molecular weight. The MALDI results compared favorably with field desorption spectra with regard to providing both molecular weight information and structural information. Although field desorption generally can provide higher ionization efficiencies for higher molecular weight

species, the MALDI technique was better at providing consistent spectra from the same sample, which made it more useful for batch comparisons (025). Molecular weight distributions obtained from MALDI-MS compared favorably with gel permeation chromatography (GPC) results obtained from the analysis of oligomers derived from ((I?)3-hydroxybutanoates) with less than or equal to 96 monomer units. The oligomeric distribution from partial depolymerization of the polymer was also studied (0269. Several examples of polymer characterization using Fourier transform mass spectrometry (FTMS) (also referred to as FT ion cyclotron resonance (FTICR)) were discussed. Silver ion chemical ionization of nonpolar hydrocarbon polymers, such as polystyrene, polyisoprene, polybutadiene, and polyethylene, was accomplished by the addition of silver nitrate to the polymer solutions prior to analysis by laser desorption FTMS. Silverattached oligomer ion distributions were observed, and these polymers did not yield useful mass spectra under conventional laser desorption conditions (027).Copper, silver, and gold gasphase ions attached efficiently to polybutadiene in laser desorption time-of-flight experiments. In this case, the polymer was s u p ported on a probe tip of the appropriate metal (028). The trapping, detection, and mass measurement were described using ETICRfor individual ions from poly(ethy1ene glycol) and sodium poly(styrenesulfonate). A scheme was developed for charge site determination based on observation of stepwise mass shifts resulting from charge-exchange reactions or adduct formation with substances of known mass. Mass determination of individual ions was accomplished using a novel technique called time-resolved ion correlation (TRIC) (029). Desorption chemical ionization (CI) MS of oligomers remaining in the reaction solvent from polymer synthesis proved useful in providing structural information for ethylene-C0 and propylene-CO copolymers and ethylene-propylene-CO terpolymer. Not all polymeric structural features could be deduced from the oligomeric spectra, but information was attained on terminal groups, monomer linkages, and molecular weight distributions (030). A multiplicative correlation algorithm (MCA) was developed for improved processing of electrospray ionization mass spectra. Accurate mass determinations using less sample were possible with this algorithm as compared to previous algorithms. Factors were discussed for affecting optimal MCA performance (031). Evolved gas analysis techniques (thermal desorption, TG/MS, etc.) were applied extensively for polymer characterization and degradation analyses. Degradation of paint films on thermoplastics was investigated using thermal desorption-GUMS (032). This technique was also used as a high-sensitivity (10-100 ppb) technique to characterize the outgasing of polycarbonate materials that were used as microenvironments (i.e., miniature clean rooms) for wafer processing and storage (033).Argon and DzO were purposely entrained in Bisphenol A polycarbonate so that their emission during deformation of the polycarbonate could be monitored using quadrupole mass spectrometry. Emission increases were noticed during transient loading events, which resulted in strainenhanced diffusion of the occluded volatiles (034). Direct pyrolysis and evolved gas analysis techniques were used to characterize the degradation products of poly(ethy1ene oxide). Direct C-0 and C-C bond scission of the polymer backbone

occurred using pyrolytic heating, whereas evolution of small molecules such as ethyl ether and acetaldehyde resulted from the controlled thermal degradation of the polymer (035).Lineartemperatureprogrammed (i.e., 10 Wmin) pyrolysis-MS (LW-PyMS) and FT-IR (LTP-Py-FT-IR) techniques were used to investigate the thermal degradation of aromatic polyethers and polyetherketones (036). An experimental apparatus for TG/GC/MS and TG/GC/IR was used to analyze poly(a-methylstyrene) and a styreneisoprene block copolymer (037).A simple degradation model was proposed for the thermal degradation of radiation-grafted and sulfonated telraftuoroethylene-hexatluoropropane copolymer @El')graft-polystyrene membrane, which was investigated over the temperature range of 50-650 "C using TG in combination with FT-IR and MS (038). Evolved gas analysis was used as a complementary technique to thermal, spectroscopic, and surface analysis techniques for materials characterization. The purity of acrylic polymer coatings on optical disks was characterized using TG/MS, STM, DMA, IR, and TG (039).Cross-linking reactions of a new monomer for the synthesis of thermally cross-linkable rigid-rod aramids was CP-MAS investigated using TG/MS along with TG, FllIR, NMR, and ESR (040). TWMS was also used to study the thermal degradation of postchlorinated poly(viny1 chloride) (043,polystyrene, poly@methylstyrene), poly (a-methylstyrene) (042),poly(carbosi1anes) (043),flame retardants, and fire-protected polymers (044). Photodegradation products from UV exposure of polystyrene strips in an ultrahigh vacuum chamber were identified using MS. The results provided the first conclusive evidence that phenyl radicals were formed during the photolysis of polystyrene film (045). Several applications of mass spectrometry to the analysis of rubber materials were discussed. Supercritical fluid chromatography combined with MS (E1 and CI) was used to determine cylic siloxanes in silicone rubber. Ammonia was the best CI reagent gas for the CI-MS analysis of higher molecular weight cyclic siloxanes. MALDI-MS was used as a complementary method for the characterization of the cyclic siloxanes in the higher molecular weight range (0469. G U M S was also applied to identify the extensive cracking products from the thermolysis of cis-polyisoprene rubber in supercritical toluene. Scrap rubber from an isoprene rubber aircraft tire yielded similar results (047).

THERMAL ANALYSIS

A review of various methods for the assignment of the glass transition temperatures presented 19 papers which detailed what the glass transition is, how to measure it using different techniques, and how the glass transition temperature affects the final end use properties of materials (F1). A recent text reviewed several applications of calorimetry and thermal analysis for characterizing polymer systems. Some of the topics discussed included glass transition, curing of thermosets, gelation, crystallization and melting, polymerization, and coupled techniques (F2). The general application of thermal analysis to characterization of polymers was also reviewed (F3). The fractionation of polypropylene samples using various solvents was examined. In some cases, the solvent fractionated the sample primarily on the basis of molecular weight while for other solvent systems the separation was largely based on tacticity (F4). In another study, the oxidative stability of polypropylene under various processing conditions was studied using thermogravimetric analysis VGA) and DSC. Processing conditions, including both temperature and number of processing steps, were found to have an impact on the overall stability of the material and effect the lifetime expectations of the final part. The use of additives, particularly for use in recycled materials, was also discussed ( F a . The fractionation of polypropylene samples using a Soxhlet extraction method and the subsequent characterization of these fractions by a variety of methods was reported (F6), and the crystallization, melting, and morphology of syndiotactic polypropylene fractions of varying molecular weights were studied (F7). Dynamic mechanical and DSC measurements were used to study the crystallization of polypropylene, high-densitypolyethylene, and blends of the two polymers including discussion of the effects of high-density polyethylene as a nucleating agent (F8). A number of studies investigated the structure and thermal behavior of syndiotactic polypropylene and reported that samples crystallized at low temperature exhibited a double melting point with the higher temperature “normal” melting endotherm being the result of recrystallization during analysis (F9-Fll). In studying the thermal properties of polypropylene fractions, tacticity was found to be the most important parameter affecting crystallinity (F12).The influence of composition on the morphology and crystallinity of blends of isotactic polypropylene and isotactic poly(1-butene) was studied. Changes in the melting endotherm of the polypropylene phase were explained in terms of the miscibility of the two polymers (F13). The effect of fiber reinforcement on the crystallization kinetics of poly(ethy1ene terephthalate) was investigated, and it was found that the crystallization rate is affected by fiber type, crystallization temperature, and the presence of nucleator or plasticizer (F14). The crystallization of polyolefin-nylon 6 blends was also studied by DSC. The volume fraction of the minor component and the compatibility of the two components in the blend were Analytical Chemistry, Vol. 67, No. 12, June 15, 1995

found to be the major factors affecting crystallization and crystallinity (F15). The crystallization kinetics of poly(pivalo1actone) were studied with notation of differences in crystallization and crystallinity for samples of varying molecular weight (F16). DSC was used to study the crystallization kinetics and to determine the Avrami crystallization parameters for poly(oxymethy1ene) (F17). Polymorphism in poly[bis(p-methoxyphenoxy)phosphazenel was reported. Both a monoclinic and an orthorhombic structure were reported with these forms having different melting temperatures (F18). The thermal behavior of blends of polyamides and ethylenemethacrylic acid copolymer ionomers were studied by DSC, and properties showed a strong dependence on the blend composition (F19). The effects of isothermal crystallization on Nylon 1010 near the melting point and at lower temperatures were reported. Upon melting, crystals formed at lower temperatures recrystallized to the higher melting form, which formed when crystallization occured at temperatures near the melting point (F20). Polymorphic behavior was also reported for the crystallization of syndiotactic polystyrene, and the influence of the solvent used for the crystallization media was discussed (F21). Another study reported similar effects specifically for the syndiotactic polystyrene-decalin system (F22). The melting behavior of ultrahigh modulus and molecular weight polyethylene fibers was studied by DSC and wide-angle X-ray scattering. These fibers were characterized by a double melting point (F23). The effects of annealing on the crystallinity of poly(buty1ene terephthalate) was studied. The presence and growth of a second lower temperature melting endotherm and a corresponding decrease in the main melting endotherm were explained in terms of crystal growth in the amorphous phase with some reorganization of the higher melting crystal structure (F24). The effects of the level of crystallinity of the polypropylene phase on adhesion properties for maleated polypropylene-treated wood surfaces was reported (F25). The thermal properties and cure kinetics for a series of semiinterpenetrating polymer networks were studied (F26'). The thermally induced cross-linking of poly(viny1 chloride) and hydrogenated acrylonitrile-butadiene rubber was studied, and while Tgwas a function of composition, the miscibility of the two polymers was not a function of composition (F27). Differences in the curing of several epoxy systems using both thermal and dielectric curing methods were reported. The dielectric cure gave more rapid curing and a higher Tg after gelation than the thermal cure, although the extent of the differences depended on the epoxy system being studied (F28). A kinetic model for the thermal cure of diethylene glycol bis(ally1 carbonate) was developed including kinetic parameters such as rate constants and activation energy (F29). During studies of the crystallization and formation of thermoreversible gels in mixtures of poly (butylene terephthalate) and epoxy, gel formation was found to be strongly related to the isothermal hold temperature (F30). In a study of the thermal and thermomechanical properties of a graphite-reinforced composite, differences in the processing conditions were found to have major effects on the crystallinity and morphology of the final structure (F31). llOR

Studying the curing behavior of blends of thermosetting and thermoplastic polyimide resins indicated that the peak temperature for the exotherm increased with increasing levels of the thermoplastic, but the total heat decreased (F32). In a study comparing the relative rates of curing for tetraglycidyldiaminodiphenylmethane and tetraglycidylmethylenebis(o-toluidine), the curing agent used significantly affected both the kinetics of cure and the final properties of the resin (F33). DSC was used to study the kinetics of cure of aryl prop2-vinyl ether-terminated monomer with and without catalyst. While the kinetics were more rapid with catalyst present, the heat of reaction was reduced (F34). The effect of compatibilizers on the nucleation and crystallization of polypropylene/linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE) blends was studied (F35), and in a blend of atactic poly(viny1 alcohol) with a mostly syndiotactic poly(viny1 alcohol), the two forms were found to cocrystallize (F369. The effects of blending polymers on the relative stability of the polymer versus the stability of the individual polymers were studied. It was reported that for some polymer systems thermal stability was actually increased while for other cases no effect was observed (F37). The miscibility and phase separation in poly(methyl methacrylate) -poly(vinyl chloride) blends was studied, and for solution-blended samples, a shift in Tg and a heat of demixing were observed upon heating (F38). A review of thermal/mechanical degradation of polymer blends reported that interaction among the components present either increased the degradation rate or decreased the degradation rate by the formation of compounds that stabilized the blend (F39). The relationship between sheer and degradation for vinylidene chloride copolymers was demonstrated (F40). Chemiluminescence was used to study the degradation of polyamide 8 (F41). The use of an oxygen uptake measurement for studying the photostability and thermal stability of polyethylene was reviewed (F42). A method was presented to derive the kinetic equations for polymer degradation by studying the elimination of low molecular weight compounds (F43). The thermal degradation of partially para-brominated polystyrenes showed that the primary products formed were the monomers, with some dimer and trimers also being formed (F44). The relationship between polymer degradation, which produces fuel, and flammability was reviewed for common commercial polymer systems (F45). In another review article, the relationship between polymer structure and flammability was discussed as well as methods for preparing thermally stable polymers (F46). A study of the thermal/mechanical degradation of linear polyethylenes indicated that increased levels of branching affected the rate of degradation. Because the level of branching was directly correlated to the type of catalyst used, the degradation of these polyethylene samples was likewise correlated to the catalyst used (F47). Derivative TGA was developed as a method for identifying and quantifying elastomers and processing oils in tire rubber (F48). Thermomechanical analysis (TMA) was used to characterize cellular EPDM rubber materials (F49), and dynamic mechanical analysis @MA) was used to study the interaction of fillers with rubber host systems. Aging was not found to affect these interactions, but heat treatment did have a profound effect on material properties (F50). The use of TGA to study vulcanized

rubber systems was reviewed (F51),and a new method using an autostepwise TGA was described for characterizing elastomeric materials (F52). DMA was used to study adhesion between poly(viny1 chloride) and nitrile rubber sheets. Contact time and temperature were found to be important parameters to allow interdiffusion of polymer chains across the interface (F53). DMA was also used to study the chemical resistance of several elastomers toward naval fuels (F54). DSC was used to study the curing kinetics of epoxy-polyester powder coatings using different accelerators and the thermal degradation of the final product (F55). An instrument was described for simultaneous chemiluminescence and DSC and the application of this instrument to study the glass transition and oxidative stability of poly(N-vinyl-2pyrolidone) (F56). Dielectric heating of polymer systems is becoming a more widely applied method of polymer processing, and the response of various polymers to microwave processing was studied (F57).

Differential scanning calorimetry was used to study the thermal characteristics of tetrduoroethylene-peduoroalkyl vinyl ether copolymers. A low-temperature transition was observed for the copolymer containing up to 4% of the peduoroalkyl vinyl ether at temperatures between -20 and 20 "C, while the peak melting of tetrafluoroethylene at temperatures of about 310 "C and lower were observed with up to 10%of comonomer. It was suggested that there is at least partial exclusion of the side chain of the comonomer (F90). The application of enthalpy relaxation determinations to study the miscibility of multicomponent systems was determined to be a useful method for describing the extent of miscibility for a blend system (F91).

While DSC is frequently used to determine crystallinity in polymers, recent work on poly(ary1 ether ether ketone) indicated that heating resulted in a recrystallization process. Consequently, accurate determination of the level of crystallinity that existed in the sample before heating was not possible (FIO1). DSC, wide-angle X-ray diffraction, and dynamic mechanical analysis were used to study phases in blends of nylon 6 and poly(acrylic acid) cast from aqueous formic acid solutions. At concentrations of greater than 50%poly(acry1ic acid), no melting endotherm was observed and only a single Tgwas found, which suggested miscibility and a single phase (F102). TGA was also used to determine the diffusion coefficient of water in polymer films where weight gain versus time was used to calculate the diffusion coefficient (F103).

The growth morphology of electrochemically grown polythiophene films was monitored using infrared dichroism (G229, G230) with infrared and Raman spectroscopies (G231). The extent of cure of benzocyclobutene thin films was evaluated by infrared spectroscopy in order to determine the feasibility of rapid thermal cure of these materials using an infrared belt furnace (G232, G233). Infrared dichroism was also used to assess the orientation in poly(ary1enevinylene) copolymers and blends (G234. The chemical structure of electrically conducting polypyrrole films was studied using Raman spectroscopy (G235). Cooperative motion of rigid groups in the semicrystalline azobenzene polymers used for reversible optical storage applications was characterized using infrared dichroism (G236). Orientation of uniaxially drawn 116R

poly(acrylonitri1e films) was also characterized using infrared dichroism (G237). The effect of heat treatment on phenolformaldehyde resins was characterized by Raman spectroscopy (G238), and infrared dichroism was used to study the orientation of uniaxially stretched films of poly(vinylpheno1) (G239).
