Abstract
Because of their increasing use in modern technology, plastic materials undergo heating on various occasions. Thermal analysis (TG-DTA) provides knowledge of their thermal behaviour under precise conditions of atmosphere and heating. Emitted gases are collected during analysis, between limits of temperature corresponding to slope changes on the TGtrace. Then all the methods of analytical chemistry may be applied to qualitative and quantitative analysis of these gases.
Various plastic samples were studied: an acrylic varnish, a polypropylene film, a polyurethane glue, a polyvinylchloride bottle. Every sample showed a particular behaviour, justifying thereby such analyses.
