Gas chromatographic determination of pyrolysis products from poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate)

Polymer Bulletin Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

Compared to poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) or other poly(n-alkyl methacrylates), the thermal degradation of poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate) (PHEMA) is rather complex, whereby the generated monomer (HEMA) is accompanied by a variety of other pyrolysis products. Besides HEMA, the dominating compounds were methacrylic acid and acetaldehyde, which could be established by gas chromatography.
