Objective
The objective of this analysis was to determine if thermal degradation had occurred in a polyethylene sample by Fourier Transform Infrared Analysis (FTIR) and High Temperature Tetradetection Gel Permeation Chromatography (GPC-HT).
Analytical Strategy
FTIR will be used to identify the portion of brown discoloration of the polyethylene sample, while high temperature GPC will be performed to compare the molecular weights of the sample and a virgin polyethylene.
