Laser Desorption/Photoionization Time-of-Flight Mass Spectrometry of Polymer Additives

Abstract

The use of laser desorption/photoionization time-of-flight mass spectrometer (LD/PITOF) and the feasibility of laser desorption coupled with photoionization of neutrals for characterization of polymer additives are presented. Information is presented about the initial velocity distributions of desorbed neutral species obtained with LD/PI TOF spectrometer. [on SciFinder (R)]
